Violence. It's the act of purposefully hurting someone. And it's a major issue facing today's young adults. One in 12 high schoolers is threatened or injured with a weapon each year. If you're between the ages of 12 and 24, you face the highest risk of being the victim of violence. At the same time, statistics show that by the early 1990's the incidence of violence caused by young people reached unparalleled levels in American society. There is no single explanation for the overall rise in youth violence. Many different factors cause violent behavior. The more these factors are present in your life, the more likely you are to commit an act of violence. Next

113. FAMILY VIOLENCE PREVENTION SERVICES Through a unique family intervention approach, this program attempts to stop family violence. http://www.serve.com/fvps/

FAMILY VIOLENCE PREVENTION SERVICES This program helps stop family violence through its unique family intervention approach. Family Violence Prevention Services (FVPS) provides effective prevention and treatment services to families where aggression or violence is a problem. Separate counseling groups for men, women, and children meet weekly for 21 weeks. All groups are led by experienced, professional counselors. This approach is based on William Glasser's Reality Therapy. It emphasizes choice, consequences, and responsibility. Each year, less than 5% of the court ordered clients who complete the FVPS counseling program return to court on domestic violence charges. This low recidivism rate is characteristic of the program over the nearly two decades it has been in operation. FVPS is viewed by law enforcement agencies and the courts as a effective alternative sentencing program. The program has helped relieve overcrowding in the jails and keep men and women at home, on the job, continuing to do their part to support their families while they get the help that they need. Table of Contents: Program Description Philosophy Services Need for Program ... Related Articles PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Family Violence Prevention Services (FVPS) is a privately operated, non-profit, tax-exempt organization. It consists of nine separate components which combine to provide effective domestic violence treatment and prevention services to residents of several western North Carolina counties. These components are as follows: (1) victim intervention, (2) court liaison, (3) men's therapy groups, (4) women's therapy groups, (5) children's therapy groups, (6) couple's therapy groups, (7) violence prevention projects in the schools, (8) information and referral telephone services, and (9) community information and education. The program is now in its eighteenth year of operation.
