The National Center for Violence Prevention

The National Center for Violence Prevention is an organization dedicated to reducing violence and promoting safety through research, education, and policy development. It works to understand the causes of violence—including factors like community environment and mental health—and to develop strategies that prevent violence before it occurs. The center collaborates with government agencies, community groups, and experts to create effective programs aimed at minimizing violence in schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods, ultimately striving to build safer, healthier communities for everyone.
