Get Help with Violence Prevention

Our Violence Prevention Programs serves youth and young adults who are impacted by community violence and/or the justice system. This work is done by having an active presence in our community via street outreach and case management and in partnership with several cities and organizations across King County.

How Violence Prevention Programs Work

Meet Young People Where They Are

We don't expect young people to come to us. Rather we meet young people where they are. Using personal experience, strong ties to the local community, and extensive training, outreach workers go where youth are in their community.

Support Them With Services

Outreach workers support young people to identify goals, such as engagement in education and employment, and overcoming the barriers to achieving these goals. They provide early intervention and are trained in and expected to de-escalate conflict.

Connect Them to Resources

We work with a community coalition to provide wraparound services and eliminate risk factors, improve outcomes, and build healthier communities. If a youth is not engaging in referred services, the outreach worker plays a key role in getting the youth involved.
