The Ministry of National Security resumes its LIV GUD School Invasion, a key element of the LIV GUD Anti-Violence Campaign, aimed at reducing youth violence and fostering positive behavioural change among students nationwide.
During the first session, held at Denham Town High School on September 20, Minister of State, the Hon. Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn, urged students to make responsible choices.
“The future of Jamaica lies in the hands of our youth, and it is our responsibility to ensure they are equipped with the right values and principles,” she stated.
Emphasising the government's commitment to investing in youth, the State Minister encouraged students to use platforms like the LIV GUD School Invasion for open dialogue, empowering them to make positive decisions and reject violence and illegal activities.
Following the Denham Town High session, the next stop is at the Stony Hill Primary School on September 27, 2024.
The LIV GUD Anti-Violence Campaign, part of the Ministry of National Security’s broader strategy to combat crime, promotes values such as respect, discipline, and community well-being. The school invasion initiative is a critical component, engaging students in discussions about the specific challenges they face.
These sessions, organised in partnership with the Community Safety and Security Branch of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, address issues unique to each school. The Ministry plans to visit two schools each month until the end of the academic year, with a long-term goal of expanding the LIV GUD Campaign's reach across the island.
