National Forum to Address Youth Exposure to Community Violence

Community violence—especially in urban areas—is an escalating crisis for far too many children and families across the United States. Given the urgency of this public health issue, the National Child Traumatic Stress Network is hosting a national forum to address community violence in the lives of youth and offer examples of solutions through partnership and collaboration from various sections of the country. Presenters will include individuals currently involved in addressing community violence: youth, mentors, therapists, police officers, and federal agency administrators.
