Interventions Targeting Exposure to Community Violence Sequelae Among Youth: A Commentary

This study brings together these disperse literatures. Next, we provide an overview of well- and lesser-established interventions that have been utilized by social workers and other mental health providers to curtail the negative effects of exposure to community violence. More importantly, we discuss how well these interventions match the empirically-identified sequelae associated with community violence exposure. We conclude with social work practice and intervention recommendations based on our commentary.
