STRYVE Online Training includes a three-part training series that provides the foundation for understanding what youth violence is and how to prevent it. In the future, additional training modules will be added to this core series.
Start Here: Look for Warning Signs
In Start Here: Look for Warning Signs, you’ll take a tour of a community and learn how to spot the signs of youth violence and why it is vitally important to take action to prevent youth violence in your community.
Lesson One: Understand Youth Violence
In Lesson One: Understand Youth Violence, you’ll learn the key facts about youth violence: exactly what it is; what can cause it and what can prevent it; how much of it there is; what impact it has on individuals and communities; and the benefits of preventing it.
Lesson Two: Protect Your Community
In Lesson Two: Protect Your Community, our focus will shift to how to prevent youth violence. You’ll learn about primary prevention – stopping violence before it happens. You’ll also learn about two very important strategies you can use to design effective youth violence prevention efforts: the public health approach and the social ecological model.
