CHOP’s Center for Violence Prevention (CVP) has been selected as a recipient of the Philadelphia Eagles’ A Fan of Change campaign, which highlights organizations and individuals making a difference in gun violence prevention. CVP’s Growing Resilience in Teens (GRIT) and Aggression and Bullying Prevention programs (which include PRAISE, a bullying prevention program being tested for long-term sustainability in a Core Research Project of the Penn Injury Science Center, led by Tracy Waasdorp and Brooke Paskewich) were recognized for their impact in supporting youth affected by trauma. This marks the fourth year that Eagles Social Justice Grants have supported gun violence prevention efforts in Philadelphia.
