violence intervention programs
Violence intervention programs are community-based initiatives designed to prevent, reduce, and address violence, especially among youth and high-risk populations. They often involve counselors, mentors, and support services that work directly with individuals involved in or at risk of violence. The goal is to understand the root causes, offer alternatives, and connect people to resources like education, job training, or mental health support. These programs aim to break the cycle of violence, promote safety, and foster healthier communities through early intervention and ongoing support.
