RESEARCH AND CONSULTING

The Canadian Prevention Science Cluster (CPSC) brings together leading researchers and practitioners from across Canada who are dedicated to reducing violence and abuse and promoting healthy relationships among youth. Our main objective is to merge existing networks and best practices across a range of domains that intersect at the point of effective and sustainable school- and community-based violence prevention initiatives. The CPSC will provide a forum through which experts in the areas of effective programming, implementation, impact evaluation, creating sustainable change, and youth engagement can come together to develop cohesive models by which schools, districts, and communities can effectively mobilize violence prevention initiatives. Under this larger network umbrella, four regional hubs will maximize impact of existing and emerging initiatives by integrating a range of innovative activities that tend to occur in isolation; including, for example, effective school-based programs, youth-led initiatives, and the training of future educators and researchers. Academic, school, and community partners from diverse disciplines and cultural backgrounds will identify best practices and promising initiatives as we collaborate in a national knowledge mobilization effort to enhance school based practice for generations to come.
