Our Story
The organization desires to help the under privileged and disadvantaged youth in the urban communities. We want the youth to learn the importance of relating appropriately and effectively with peers, family, co-workers, neighbors, and members of the community. In doing so, the violence can be reduced and education can be increased.
When our young children learn the importance of maintaining sound mental health through avoidance of substance abuse/dependence and self-destructive behaviors, the communities will become safer.
Our agency specializes in violence meditations. When we know the parties involved, HALT VIOLENCE engages with 2 to 3 parties from each opposing group to perform a conflict mediation at our safe site. HALT VIOLENCE gives the individuals involved a place to resolve there issues with nonviolent alternatives. HALT VIOLENCE role at a mediation is to ensure the level of talking is not disrespectful, watch body language and to assist with suggestions when the parties get stuck in how to resolve the issue at hand.
