If Youth Can, then I Can

 

On April 1, 2016, The Urban Youth Trauma Center at the University of Illinois Chicago’s Institute for Juvenile Research launched its ‘If Youth Can, then I Can’ Violence Prevention Campaign.

 

The goals of this campaign are to:

  1. Raise Awareness about the negative impacts of community violence on youth, families, and entire communities.
  1. Educate the public about the risk factors and strategies that support resilience in youth, families, and communities.
  1. Engage youth, families and community members in the process of working together to address the complexities of Community Violence.
