reachviolenceprevention.org is a knowledge hub dedicated to practical strategies that reduce harm, strengthen communities, and support families. We translate the best available research and field experience into clear, usable guidance so people can prevent violence, resolve conflict, and build resilience at home, school, work, and in neighborhoods.
What We Cover
Our editorial coverage spans four core areas: Violence Prevention (early warning signs, bystander skills, safety planning), Community Resilience (collective healing, trauma-informed systems, capacity-building), Conflict Resolution (mediation tools, de-escalation, restorative approaches), and Family Support (parenting under stress, healthy relationships, youth well-being). Every article is crafted to be actionable, trauma-informed, and accessible.
How We Work
We begin with evidence—peer-reviewed studies, public health guidance, and proven community practices—then add practitioner insight and real-world examples. Each piece is pitched, reviewed, and edited against our standards for accuracy, clarity, and cultural humility. We prioritize inclusive language and practical steps that readers can adapt to their contexts.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reduce the prevalence and impact of violence by equipping individuals and communities with trustworthy information and skills. We believe prevention is most effective when it is community-led, trauma-informed, and sustained by supportive policies and relationships.
Editorial Standards
We commit to accuracy, transparency, and independence. Sources are cited, claims are verified, and conflicts of interest are disclosed. Content is reviewed by experienced editors and, when appropriate, external subject-matter specialists. We update articles as new evidence emerges and clearly mark significant revisions.
