Raising Healthy Children Through Communities That Care

Start Dates: 1998
PI(s): J. David Hawkins
Funding: Bruce and Jolene McCaw Foundation

Project Description

This project is developing a book that will weave together stories and science to tell what we know about the development of aggression and violence, drug abuse, and teen pregnancy, and how families, schools, and communities can prevent these problems and promote healthy development. This book will describe what community leaders can do to reinvent their communities as healthy environments for human development.
