Teen Action Toolkit: Building a Youth-led Response to Teen Victimization is a blueprint for engaging youth in community problem-solving around the issue of teen victimization. It includes "how-to" guidance on the four steps of any community problem-solving effort (community assessment, outreach, advocacy, and peer victim service), and includes ideas for activities and reflections. By equipping youth leaders with skill-building exercises, ideas for activities, and a framework for their efforts, this guidebook is an essential tool to improve local policies, outreach, and services so that more teen victims get the help they need to overcome the trauma of victimization.
