  4. Enough is EnoughThree-prong Approach Stem the Tide of Violence

  5. Intentional Components According to the U.S. Department of Education, "violence and antisocial behavior are less likely to occur in schools with the following characteristics: positive school climate and atmosphere; clear and high expectations of all students; strong student bonding to the school; high levels of student participation and parent involvement; and opportunities to gain skills and develop socially."[1]

  6. Learning Outcomes As a result of participating in the Enough is Enough campaign, participants will be able to: • Identify the key messages of the EIE program in which they participated • Articulate the stakeholders in a safe community • Articulate a specific action or strategy they can employ to reduce violence in their community • Seek out ways to be involved in violence prevention efforts. • Engage and participate in interventions to reduce violence

  7. Enough is Enough Campaign • For the greatest national impact, we are encouraging campuses across the country to hold Enough is Enough Week activities April 5-9. • Challenge to Region V and VI • Aim is to focus on the root causes of violence (i.e. poverty, bullying, mental health, single family homes, pressure to succeed at college) and protection (i.e. self-defense) rather than the symptoms (i.e. gun violence, etc).
