Abstract

Family violence is a well-documented phenomenon. The Wakanheza Project, grounded in the prevention principles of public health, is a community-based violence prevention initiative designed to reduce harsh treatment of children in public. The Wakanheza Project is not a program or curriculum. It uses principles that involve individuals and organizations in learning sessions to rethink why challenging situations occur and ways to ameliorate these challenges. Qualitative research methods explore the impact on 3 diverse organizations in an urban county. Ideas for replication and research toward the primary prevention of violence are discussed.
