Patricia A. Tomson Center for Violence Prevention

The Patricia A. Tomson Center for Violence Prevention (PATCVP) was formed in 2011 with the mission to build the capacity of institutions of higher education, PreK-12 schools, victim service agencies and non-profit organizations to systematically implement best practice violence prevention and evaluation strategies in collaboration with state, family and community partners. This work is accomplished by conducting bullying and gender violence prevention trainings, and workshops with school and community partners; increasing the engagement of men in and boys in working to reduce and end violence and abuse; and through supporting schools and community partners in their efforts to maintain and sustain bullying and violence prevention initiatives and strategies.
