Gun Violence Prevention

To mitigate increasing community violence, the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District treats violence as a disease.

Stand Up SA engages with youth and young adults between the ages of 5 to 24. These individual are exposed to some sort of violence. The staff works closely with each participant to convince them to reject the use of violence.

Efforts also focus on enrolling high-risk youth into Stand Up SA's Case Management Program. The program connects at-risk individuals with resources, services, and support groups.

The phone number for the program is (210) 207-8844 or view more information here.
