>> We, the Coordinators of the Sharing Strengths Society and
>> Child & Youth Inter-sectoral Working Group, are in the
>> process of developing a proposal, "Addressing Youth
>> Violence: An Inter-sectoral, Integrated Approach for Western
>> Nova Scotia", to garner funding to support a project across
>> western Nova Scotia, Canada, that will, among other things,
>> conduct an environmental scan of existing initiatives and
>> programs, research 'best practices', and pilot an integrated
>> approach to remedying youth violence - from the preventative
>> to the remedial. For our purposes, 'youth' are young people
>> aged 0-21, and 'violence' includes a range of behaviours
>> ranging from disruptive or angry outbursts to bullying
>> (e.g., intimidation, coercion, extortion), verbal abuse,
>> threats, harassment, self-abuse, physical assault, sexual
>> assault, and suicide.
>>
>> Our collective membership and stakeholders include a range
>> of provincial and federal government departments and
>> agencies, as well as community organizations.
>>
>> We are wondering whether others working in the fields of
>> public health, cross-jurisdictional/inter-sectoral service
>> development, or youth violence prevention/remediation might
>> be aware of literature reviews, bibliographies, effective
>> programs or similar fledgling efforts already in existence.
>>
>> We would really appreciate hearing from anyone who may have
>> information or references to share with us as we would like
>> to benefit from others' ideas and insights as we map out the
>> trajectory for our new initiative, which we hope will
>> improve the resiliency and outcomes of youth in our region.
