COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INTERVENTION
Community Violence Intervention (CVI) is a city-wide program that works to reduce gang-related crime and violence in the community, through the support and development of young people. CVI provides counseling, case management, court advocacy, and education to address underlying risks and issues while preparing youth for employment.
Community Intervention Services
CVI Intervention case management services are designed for gang-involved young people who are 14 years old and up. CVI service providers make referrals to services (e.g. mentoring, counseling, tattoo removal, etc.) and provide assistance and support for each of their clients. The program is designed to increase access to, and engagement in, positive activities and build connections to prosocial networks through a program that includes individual client meetings and participant family meetings.
Community Engagement
GRYD acknowledges the widespread and profound impact of multigenerational and lived trauma on the individuals, families, and communities it serves. The development and delivery of services incorporate a trauma-informed/healing centered lens and build on existing reservoirs of resilience to foster individual, family, and community healing.GRYD helps youth and families reach their full potential for personal health and wellness by delivering activities that intentionally develop social, emotional, physical, and cognitive skills. These activities strengthen resilience and provide positive alternatives to antisocial behavior.​
