Webinar: The Prevention of Homicidal Violence in Schools

Please join the Program in Education, Afterschool and Resiliency (PEAR) at McLean Hospital and Harvard University, along with the University of Minnesota Extension, for an online action dialogue on bullying, violent video games, and school safety among other topics. The action dialogue convenes a panel of experts in the field, all of whom contributed to the latest issue of New Directions for Youth Development, "Columbine A Decade Later: The Prevention of Homicidal Violence in Schools." Their combined scholarship refutes the common misunderstanding that extreme acts of violence are so rare and unpredictable that prevention is futile, and instead provides convincing evidence and a new direction for the development of comprehensive school safety and violence prevention measures.
