Good Solutions Solve Multiple Problems:
Addressing the Links Between Multiple Forms of Violence
Monday, March 18, 2013
11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PT / 2 to 3:30 p.m. ET
All violence is connected, and recognizing the links between different forms of violence can strengthen prevention efforts. Factors that make family violence more likely may also operate at the neighborhood level, for example, and building resilience in young people can protect against multiple forms of violence whether in communities, schools or at home. Hosted by Futures Without Violence, this webinar will describe how one type of violence can lead to other forms, and UNITY Managers Annie Lyles and Xavier Morales will present cross-cutting solutions that address multiple forms of violence at once and can prevent childhood trauma.
