Goodwin College Launches Center for the Prevention of School-Aged Violence
The mission of Drexel University's new Center for the Prevention of School-Aged Violence (formerly the Center for the Prevention of School Violence) is to create public awareness around the need for youth-focused, evidence-based efforts aimed at preventing youth violence from occurring in environments where youth grow, learn, and recreate.
The Center's vision is to help ensure that all youth possess the requisite social and cognitive skills to prevent violence on their own, which includes developing conflict resolution and mediation skills.
The Center also strives to inform policy leaders and stakeholders of the various types of evidence-based activities that prevent school-aged violence.
Dr. Charles "Chuck" Williams serves as the Center's Director. Click the Read More link for more information.
