Dear Colleagues,
Unfortunately, we live in an increasingly violent world. In his report on Youth Violence, former Surgeon General David Satcher expressed it this way, ". . . in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence." Today's newsletter provides information on youth violence and resources on how to stem the tide.
