Preventing School Violence: The Role of the Public Health Professional

By Children's Safety Network

These fact sheets discuss the scope of the school violence problem and provide specific strategies and recommendations for public health professionals to address the issue. They present case examples of creative ways school violence prevention programs were implemented in five states, such as partnering with private foundations, state and federal agencies, and community groups, or by integrating school violence prevention into existing school health or violence prevention programs. Potential partners from outside the public health arena to engage in preventing school violence are suggested and a list of agencies and organizations offering resources and assistance in school violence prevention is included.
