Strengthening Communities: A Review of the Youth Violence Grant Program

By National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention

The Youth Violence Prevention (YVP) program was created in 1999 to support community-based organizations as they analyzed risk and protective factors of youth violence so that they could address the issue at early stages by choosing appropriate interventions. This monograph provides a description of the initiative along with its key elements and also highlights the experiences of various YVP communities.
