Violence can can take many forms, from interpersonal, gun violence and school shootings, digital harassment, to bullying. Our communities, families, friend groups, and relationships that are impacted by violence need safe spaces and victim advocates.

Violence is the intentional use of physical force or power—threatened or actual—against oneself, another person, or against a group or community—that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation.
