School-Based Safety Programs

In partnership with the U.S. DOJ Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), LISC helps schools and their surrounding communities understand the challenges of violence in their students' lives and develop evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches to address them.

LISC provides training and technical assistance that help school administrators, local governments and community partners create safer school environments and work with students who have been impacted by violence.
