Brief Program Description

Summary

Research indicates that there are almost a half million acts of violence in American schools annually with over 20% of high school students reporting that they have been bullied. School safety and security in these modern times is more than just policing – it is about connecting with students and parents by better understanding the world they now live in. When research now suggests that 1 in 5 boys and 1 in 11 girls are being diagnosed with ADHD, there is a systemic cause and effect with suicide rates and the deteriorating mental health of our young people. The research from the book Education in a Violent World is critical at understanding how to bring positive change to our school culture and ultimately curb the violence we are seeing in our nation's schools.
