University of Pittsburgh, 3 Others get violence prevention grant
The University of Pittsburgh and three community groups will share $3.9 million in funding from Pennsylvania to study causes and the prevention of violence.
The project will examine how such factors as brain function and environmental characteristics may interact to place children at risk for violent behavior, according to a news release from the University of Pittsburgh, which is working with Auberle, Holy Family Social Services and the Kingsley Association on the study.
Another factor in the study is the evaluation of the Stop Now and Plan (SNAP) Program, designed to target young children at risk for developing serious violent tendencies.
The grant was awarded as part of Pennsylvania’s share of the national tobacco settlement.
Auberle is a McKeesport-based agency that serves at-risk youth and families; Holy Family Social Services is a multi-purpose social service agency for residents of the Hill District; and the Kingsley Association creates neighborhood-based programs with a focus on helping youth.
