What We Do

One of the goals of P.R.O.M.I.S.E.  includes developing a systematic process that involves defining the problem, identifying risk, and protective factors, developing and testing prevention strategies, and assuring widespread adoption throughout the City of Pittsburgh and beyond.  

We will identify key leaders in communities—local government leaders and community leaders—with dynamic resources to help support our efforts to plan, develop, implement, and evaluate effective youth violence prevention programs and events.  We are working to get kids off the streets and involved in after school activities to keep them from becoming a victim or a perpetrator.

This year we had a wonderful time at the memorial dinner that was held on .  We presented certificates and awards to participants of our Book Club. 

Stop the Violence

Youth violence is violence involving young persons, typically children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of ten and twenty-four. The young person can be the victim, the perpetrator, or both.  Youth violence includes aggressive behaviors such as verbal abuse, bullying, hitting, slapping, or fist-fighting.  These behaviors have significant consequences but do not generally result in serious injury or death.  Youth violence also includes serious violent and delinquent acts such as aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and homicide, committed by and against youth.  In addition to causing injury and death, youth violence undermines communities by increasing the cost of health care, reducing productivity, decreasing property values, and disrupting social services.

P.R.O.M.I.S.E. is committed to stopping violence before it begins (i.e., primary prevention).  The ultimate goal is to stop violence before it begins.  Prevention requires understanding the factors that influence violence.

We look forward to hearing from the youth, parents, educators, employeers, service providers, community leaders and organizers.
