The Resilient Mind

Teen gun and gang violence is a pressing issue that affects communities across the nation.

• Homicide Rates: Homicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10-24 in the United States, with a significant portion involving firearms.
• Gang Involvement: Approximately 40% of gang members in the U.S. are under the age of 18, contributing significantly to youth violence and crime rates.
• Exposure to Violence: Over 80% of teens in high-crime urban areas report witnessing or experiencing violence, which increases the likelihood of them carrying and using guns.

Addressing teen gun and gang violence requires a multifaceted approach involving community engagement, education, and support services.
