Description
A Federal source that provides information on youth violence including, prevention and intervention programs, publications, research, and statistics on violence committed by and against young people. The Center will also link to private sector resources. In addition to its web site, the NYVPRC maintains a call center -- 1-866-SAFEYOUTH (723-3968) -- where Center staff can provide you with information on youth violence, refer you to organizations providing youth violence prevention and intervention services, and link you to technical assistance. Sponsored by the White House Council on Youth Violence, the Resource Center is a collaboration between the Council, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other Federal agencies.
