About us
The mission of the Center for Violence Prevention (CVP) at CHOP is to reduce the exposure to and impact of violence among children, teens, and families. We conduct community-focused research and design innovative, evidence-based programs that are implemented, disseminated and sustained across clinical, school and neighborhood settings. Our work is trauma-informed and rooted in racial equity and social justice. Violence is a public health epidemic in our country. Tragically, today more than 40% of kids in the U.S. are exposed to some form of violence – in their home, their schools, or their neighborhoods. Our vision statement is to be a national leader and innovator in violence prevention programming and research, supporting communities in which children, teens and families can be safe and thrive.
