Paul G. McFadden, Senior Program Development Specialist for OTR will discuss strategies for overcoming environmental risk factors that can create obstacles to safety and peace. At the age of 12, Mr. McFadden considered gang activity a normal part of his life. At 19, he was incarcerated. Determined to turn his life around, Mr. McFadden used his time in prison to learning why so many urban youths place themselves in a chasm between jail and death. Now, he is committed to helping at-risk teens.
