“What are the best ways to diminish the amount of school violence and promote mental health awareness?”

For my research, I searched for factual and compelling information to support my three solutions for my burning question. After traveling to the University of Virginia and gathering multiple academic sources, I was ready to write my final research paper and create an outline. This was not easy, as I had to come over many adversities to reach the point of completion. I changed my research question and my topic multiple times before deciding on school violence and mental health. I did not feel as though my initial topics regarding drug use in the community would have had as much of an impact in comparison to overall mental health and school violence. This, of course does not mean the battle on drugs is not an issue for adolescents, but there have been many projects and hours of research done on drugs, even specifically in Orange. Fortunately, I have completed all of the necessary research that is required for my school violence an mental health based capstone project.
