Violence is preventable.
Working together to find solutions across Jamaica
The VPA is a network of WHO member states, international agencies and civil society organisations working to prevent violence through an evidence-based public health approach.
VPA Jamaica runs evidence-based programmes including WE-Talk, Trees for Peace, Drum Therapy, Child Resiliency, CAPP, CAMP Cornwall, and the INSPIRE initiative.
The Social Norms Study informed CSJP’s social marketing strategy, identifying risk factors associated with violence to develop strategies that interrupt and prevent crime.
