The Power of One mobile app, inspired by the Safe2Tell program, aims to address further youth safety concerns. From housing security to food access, the app is coined as being created “by us, for us” and involved the Youth Advisory Council from the Youth Violence Prevention Center-Denver (YVPC-Denver), an outgrowth of the Center for the Study and Prevention (CSPV) at IBS. CSPV and the YVPC-Denver were recently featured on several news outlets discussing the new app and how it will impact Denver youth.
