The Problem: 

Youth violence is escalating in Toronto, yet many young people remain unaware that they can turn to the Neighbourhood Community Officer program for support. We must explore effective strategies to help reduce this violence.
 
The Insight: 

Young people often see asking for help as a weakness, but they need to realize that speaking up is the first step toward a brighter and stronger future.
 
Unlocking Greatness:

By reframing help-seeking as a sign of strength and presenting neighbourhood police as a trusted source of support, we can reduce negative outcomes and empower youth to confidently reach out to the Neighbourhood Community Officer program.
