Protect Our Kids - Preventing Exposure to Violence

Description:

Children's exposure to violence at home, at school, or in the neighborhood, is the single most powerful risk factor for generating violent individuals in our culture. Protect Our Kids, a non-profit grant-funded program available through Transitions Family Violence Services, offers assessment, information and referral services to Hampton children who've witnessed violence. Protect Our Kids also leads a community education campaign to increase awareness of problems associated with children's exposure to violence and to positively change the community's attitudes to preventing children's exposure to violence.
