V.I.P.
Violence Intervention Program
What is the Violence Intervention Program?
The program uses an educational component to promote awareness.
It is designed to address the students underlying issues of anger
that lead them to violent behaviors. The emphasis is on promoting
strategies to facilitate change in behavior. VIP is not therapy.
The
program is facilitated in an interactive manner and participants are encouraged to examine
their behaviors to make positive lifestyle changes.
