Reducing Children's Exposure to Violence

Reducing Children’s Exposure to Violence: Maximizing Outcomes through Multi-Sector Engagement explores the benefits of engaging multiple sectors in reducing traumatic exposures. It examines the benefits for children and youth, as well as for each of the sectors. The health, education and justice sectors, for instance, can’t fulfill their own mandates as effectively when children and youth are exposed to violence. Using a Collaboration Multiplier analysis, this paper details the assets each sector can contribute to a shared effort, the differences that must be bridged, and possible multi-sector strategies.
