Who Is True2Life?

True2Life is a community-based violence prevention initiative and a proud part of the New York City Crisis Management System. The program works to reduce violence through a public health and science-based approach, treating violence not as a moral failure, but as a learned behavior that can be prevented.

Like any contagious epidemic, violence spreads when it is ignored. True2Life recognizes that punishment alone does not stop violence. Lasting change happens when harmful social norms are addressed at their source. Using proven disease-control strategies, True2Life focuses on prevention, early intervention, and community healing to interrupt cycles of violence before they escalate.

This Peer-to-Peer Campaign is about people helping people. Every dollar raised supports Central Family Life Center’s programs and services, including True2Life. And thanks to our Diamond Matching Grant, every gift is matched 2:1, tripling the impact of your support.

Your contribution helps True2Life invest in proven, community-based solutions that prevent violence before it happens. Together, we can create safer, healthier neighborhoods and lasting change.
