The Voices: A Library Lecture Series committee is pleased to present “Curing Violence” by Mr. David Elliot on Tuesday, Feb. 2 from noon to 12:50 p.m. in the BTC Auditorium.
“Cure Violence” is an innovative program that addresses urban violence by treating it like a disease and stopping its spread. Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region, a local social service organization, first implemented the program in Albany and expanded it to Troy in 2014.
In honor of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.’s tradition of non-violence, David Elliott, director of the Troy program, discusses the history of the Cure Violence program model, its origins and its local implementation of “Leaders Leading Troy’s Youth.” Elliott outlines the model’s goals to reduce shootings and homicides.
