A series of brief office counseling interventions for the prevention and treatment of violence is reviewed in this article. Primary prevention strategies throughout the pediatric age span cover topics from gun storage to nonviolent handling of a potential street fight. Secondary prevention strategies deal with patients who have been injured by violence or patients who engage in street violence, weapon carrying, or dating violence.
