Thell Robinson III is the founder and CEO of Halt Violence, and no stranger to the violence in urban America. As a teenager, Thell became a drug dealer in Washington DC. He saw firsthand how violence and death can rip families and communities apart. In search of change, Thell relocated to Columbus, Ohio only to find a challenge. Shortly after moving to Columbus, Thell began to purchase and distribute cocaine. As a drug dealer, Thell participated in a lifestyle ruled by violence and fear. Eventually Thell’s illegal activities caught up with him; he was arrested and incarcerated. Since his incarceration, Thell has completely transformed his life in many ways. While he knows he can’t erase the past, he has dedicated his life to helping at-risk teens and young adults to avoid the violent lifestyle he once knew. As a result of his own transformation, Thell continues to make an impact on the streets of Columbus, by training the next generation of street mentors at Halt Violence, expanding relationships in the community, and sharing his story through his books and public speaking. https://www.haltviolence.org/counseling daily 0.75 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61db21c7662c545dfec0c984/1f597536-a402-4046-8e0f-7e3a1ec1d384/divider-blue-small.png Counseling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61db21c7662c545dfec0c984/7c0faeb7-f099-459a-a41a-68b0f32da0a1/Mediation_13.jpg Counseling - Changing Minds Through Counseling Counseling is a preventative approach to halting violence, or as we say on the streets, ’squashing beef before it starts.’ Counseling provides healthy alternatives to violence by addressing the root causes, providing healthy alternatives, and empowering clients with the skills to walk away from violence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61db21c7662c545dfec0c984/1f597536-a402-4046-8e0f-7e3a1ec1d384/divider-blue-small.png Counseling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61db21c7662c545dfec0c984/0c376078-b235-435d-9a83-9503a0ab90a1/Mediation_14.jpg Counseling - Mental, Emotional, & Counseling Support Mentoring is holistic. We call it mentoring “heads, hearts, and hands”—a nod to Booker T. Washington. If nonviolence is going to be a way of life, that demands mentorship—someone who can provide the mental, emotional, and career skill training you need for a better future. https://www.haltviolence.org/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://www.haltviolence.org/mediation daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61db21c7662c545dfec0c984/2220f210-1425-4e52-aaa3-f9f3e652f328/divider-red-small.png Mediation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61db21c7662c545dfec0c984/90c008d0-e2fa-428e-a031-149856273552/Mediation_17.jpg Mediation - Saving Lives through Mediation: Violence Intervention Services Mediation is an interventionist approach to halting violence, or what we call on the streets, ’squashing beef.’ Our street mentors actively earn the community’s trust, identify potential violence, and settle disputes on the street using evidence-based mediation techniques. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61db21c7662c545dfec0c984/2220f210-1425-4e52-aaa3-f9f3e652f328/divider-red-small.png Mediation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61db21c7662c545dfec0c984/71fb0140-36f1-4fa9-9f1b-257189adef4a/Mediation_16.jpg Mediation - We get the streets.
