ADRESSING COMMUNITY VIOLENCE & STUDENT SAFETY
It’s estimated that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by peers.
• Between 20–30 % of students report being bullied each year in school environments.
• Students who are bullied are 3× more likely to skip school and miss classes.
• Bullying and fear of violence are linked with poor academic performance, depression, anxiety, and reduced participation.
• Domestic violence, fear of peer aggression, and traumatic school experiences are all factors that contribute to absenteeism and disengagement.
RESPONDING TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & FAMILY INSTABILITY/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
The Public Safety.org will:
- Provide confidential chaplaincy support and crisis car
- Offer referral networks for counseling and protective services
- Conduct educational seminars on healthy relationships
Where traditional systems are overwhelmed, The Public Safety.org will serve as:
- A trained support partner
- A preventative education resource
- A crisis stabilization presence
- A bridge between communities and institutions
