PCHR created a program that works with high-risk youth to develop skills to mediate conflicts that might otherwise turn violent. The program was a youth-focused prevention initiative that taught participants the skills needed to recognize and resist the pressures that lead to violent activities through a multi-pronged approach that allowed students to share ideas, interests, and concerns. It also prepared students to be ambassadors in school-wide activities, including social events, and their communities.
