The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Campus Violence Prevention Program

The CDC Campus Violence Prevention Program aims to reduce violence in educational settings by promoting strategies that foster a safe environment. It focuses on identifying risk factors, creating policies, and educating communities about recognizing warning signs. The program encourages collaboration among students, staff, and mental health professionals to implement evidence-based practices that prevent violence before it happens. Its goal is to support schools in developing comprehensive safety plans, improve crisis response, and promote mental health initiatives, ultimately helping to ensure a secure and supportive space for learning and growth.
