Little attention has been paid to developing effective prevention programming for youth outside traditional settings, such as those programs serving runaway and homeless youth. Not only have limited resources been applied to understanding this topic, but the provider communities in these two closely related fields are not well connected. Both deal with crisis intervention for culnerable populations adn both groups would benefit greatly from each other's skills and knowledge. Thid project will provde workers from both disciplines the opportunity to come together to share expertise in a strctured format. The project has three major goals. 1) to establish a 3 year cross disciplinary initiative which will lead to the development of new strategies to prevent dating violence among runaway and homelss youth and enhance domestic violence services in runaway and homeless youth programs 2) to collaboratively design and develop cross-disciplinary approaches for the effective prevention of dating violence among runaway and homeless youth; and 3) to improve the effectiveness of diomestic vioelnce service delivery for youth in runaway & homeless youth programs through cross disciplinary collaboration.
