Protecting Youth

(Jan. 9, 2008)

Throughout Minnesota violence committed by young people against young people is an increasingly deadly problem. This program will challenge us to address the issue as a matter of public health – looking at prevention and treatment strategies, not simply criminal justice solutions. We’ll hear from experts and children who live with violence everyday.
