Victims of youth violence (e.g., child abuse and neglect, dating or sexual violence) are at increased risk for serious mental health and other problems, including substance abuse and suicide. We provide expert training, communications, data management, and evaluation services for programs that target the difficult issues of youth violence and child welfare, with the goal of breaking the cycle of violence.
