COMMUNITIES UNITE: Violence is Preventable! -- Free Violence Prevention Workshop -- REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED.
March 18, 2010 -- University & Whist Club, 805 North Broom Street, Wilmington
Sponsored by: The Prevention Subcommittee of the Domestic Violence Task Force & Delaware Victims' Rights Task Force
Searching for a comprehensive approach that can unite a community? Please join us for this FREE skill-building workshop. We will explore a new framework that cities across the country are using to prevent violence before it ever occurs. Join us as we take a look at how public health efforts have shaped our behaviors over the years- from decreasing smoking, to using seat belts, to washing our hands to prevent illness- and what lessons we can apply in our efforts to prevent violence and other harmful social problems.
What do Delawareans think causes violence to be a persistent problem in our cities?
-Broken family structures
-Children being raised by young mothers
-Absent fathers
-A government and community that is more reactive than proactive
-Problems in families, communities, churches and the educational system
-Agencies and people getting territorial and fighting for money and control
-“Growing Audacity Among City Gunmen,” News Journal, September 20, 2009
