Targeted violence is preventable. In many instances, concerning behaviors and potential warning signs are detected by friends, family, neighbors, teachers, co-workers, and professionals; but not reported. This website is a companion to grant-funded activities for a community approach to disrupting the pathway to violence in rural areas. The project explores the barriers to reporting these signs of violence in rural areas and pilots a community based, public health approach to overcome these barriers.
