Members of the council's anti-social behaviour team will be joining Gwent Police at events to mark Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week.
They will be also be joined by local organisations working to tackle anti-social behaviour, such as Registered Social Landlords.
Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week aims to highlight the impact of anti-social behaviour on communities, such as people's sense of well-being, increased costs for policing and local businesses.
Catherine Jones, the council's Community Safety Lead, said: "Anti-social behaviour is not a low-level crime - it can have significant ramifications on the community as a whole.
"Anti Social Behaviour Awareness Week is a great opportunity for communities to get together with organisations to discuss the causes and importantly, what can be done to reduce it."
The anti-social behaviour team will be joined by partners at the following events:
* A family-fun event at Blaenavon Active Living Centre on Tuesday, July 1, 3pm-5.30pm
* Multi-agency surgery, Millennium Hall, Garndiffaith, Wednesday July 2, 11am-12pm, and Thursday, July 2, 4pm-5pm
* Multi-agency surgery, Cwmavon Village Hall, Wednesday July 2, 1pm-2pm
Anti-social behaviour is defined as any behaviour that causes harassment, alarm or distress.
