- $821,466 spent. Cure Violence - an evidence-based public health anti-violence program. It works to stop shootings and prevent violence-related injuries and fatalities among youth in communities with high incidence of violence by: Deploying violence interrupters to identify and mediate conflicts among high-risk youth in the service area. Deploying outreach workers to identify and mentor high-risk youth about redirecting life choices, job training, schooling, employment, health care, and other available services.Building community networks to support anti-violence efforts and mobilize community residents through shooting responses and community events that raise awareness about violence and promote community norms that reject violence. SCR service area is an eight-block area bounded by 137th Street, Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd, 145th Street and Malcolm X Blvd.
- $547,644 spent. Hospital Responder - SCR partners with Harlem Hospital to provide Hospital Responder Services. These services provide violence interruption and mediation services to victims of traumatic violence that are admitted to the hospital. The hospital identifies victims of violence and reaches out to the SCR Hospital Responder Staff to respond to the incident. The goal is to identify violently injured youth at risk for retaliatory violence, work with victims and their families and friends to help prevent future violence and provide linkages to resources. Hospital Responders assess the risk for potential re-injury, mediate and interrupt retaliatory violence, and work to re-direct youth away from life on the streets. Hospital Responders also work to de-escalate emotions at the hospital scene, coordinate street level intervention, when appropriate, and continue to work with victims who are eligible for Cure Violence program participation after their hospital discharge. This work can involve multiple visits to the hospital. It also involves coordination with hospital staff for follow-up care and referrals.Regular program planning and implementation meetings, ongoing orientation to the hospital structure and staff, and training are coordinated with hospital leadership.
- $547,643 spent. Protest Mitigation Support - the Protest Mitigation Support program is designed to create an environment of peace and public safety that enables the public to exercise their rights within the framework of peace, mutual respect, and public safety. The Washington Square Park area in lower Manhattan will be the initial focal area for this program. This area has experienced public safety issues associated with the activities of certain parties within and around its confines. SCR will implement an engagement and de-escalation strategy starting with a safety assessment and the development of a holistic engagement strategy. This strategy will include a consistent presence in the park, building relationships and familiarity with people who frequent the park on a regular basis. Handing out program literature and offering resources. SCR presence will be driven with the intention of being an empathetic, understanding partner for peace.SCR deploys an Outreach Team that is equipped to engage with the population of the park. They understand methods of engagement and de-escalation and will become a positive presence in the park. SCRs Outreach Team also has access to other services that SCR utilizes in its Cure Violence program. This includes mental health counseling and legal aid services. We also deploy our Peace Beast, the Mobile Trauma Unit, from time to time at the park.SCRs deployment should result in less violence disturbances in the park and should help to build an atmosphere of peace and non-violence in the park community.
- $273,823 spent. Professional Mental Health Services (PMHS) - PMHS intervention contributes to overall objectives of violence reduction through increasing participants range of positive coping skills and mutually supportive relationships. This program component is designed to mobilize community-based credible clinicians with the goal of building CV participants capacity to recognize and heal from multi-generational traumatic exposure to gun violence (including its intersection with intimate partner violence), as well as that of community members impacted by gun violence who are living in the immediate CV catchment area and to those living in the surrounding police precinct area. In close coordination with the core CV programs, the PMHS component supports the overall objective of reducing gun violence and its perpetuation. Prolonged exposure to violence - and exposure to the heightened risk of violence - can have a significant impact on individuals short- and long-term physiological, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional functioning.Provides culturally attuned, trauma-focused therapy informed by cognitive-behavioral and motivational interviewing approaches and other holistic healing and self-care strategies to program participants and community members.
