Youth violence ripples throughout our society until it splashes on the front pages of our local and national media outlets. Prevention starts within the first hours of a child's life and is a complex preventative effort that includes the family, child, schools, neighborhoods, politics, media and society.

It is our job as a decent society to help prevent youth violence. On the [|www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia] website, under the Resource tab, you will find information on several Youth Violence Reduction Resources/Organizations including: Blueprints; AVP; Mother in Charge; EMIR, MUBP; PAAN; PCVPC; and Safe Youth. PLEASE become familiar with these resources, and get involved with this horrific epidemic that affects us all.
