ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Allan Creighton is the director of the Teen Program for Battered Women's Alternatives (BWA) in Concord, California, and is a co-founder of Men Overcoming Violence (MOVE), a group that counsels batterers. He produced My Girl, a video for teens speaking about issues of violence. He lectures frequently and trains domestic violence prevention workers statewide.
Together, Allan Creighton and Paul Kivel founded the Oakland Men's Project in 1979. Through their programs, men, women, and young people work together to build multicultural, community alliances which make it possible for all of us to find alternatives to violence. The unique program presented in Helping Teens Stop Violence was developed by Creighton and Kivel for use as a basis for their violence prevention work with teens nationwide.
Paul Kivel has trained and conducted workshops for hundreds of adult men and thousands of teens. He has led a male incest offenders' group, helped set up batterer's groups, consulted preschool programs on raising children to be non-violent, and helped develop the Oakland Men's Project (OMP) community prevention program for teen men. He is also the author of MEN'S WORK: How to Stop the Violence That Tears Our Lives Apart, recently published by Hazelden. In addition to working with teens across the country, Paul is raising three children of his own.
