Recently, we partnered with the National Association of School Resource Officers and other school safety experts to develop Project Unite, a training program for multidisciplinary school safety teams to implement integrated school violence prevention strategies. The best violence prevention begins early and continues through childhood and adolescence, and we have a registry of experimentally proven programs to prevent violence throughout life.
