Violence Intervention - Boston, United States - Boston Public Health Commission
Description
The mission of the Boston Public Health Commission is to work in partnership with communities to protect and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, especially those impacted by racism and systemic inequities.
PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION
The Violence Intervention and Prevention (VIP) initiative is a strategy initiated in Nov 2007, designed to address violence across the city and in four of Boston's high need neighborhoods.
Overseen by the Division of Violence Prevention (DVP), VIP works in partnership with community-based organizations to develop a continuum of violence prevention and intervention services that will provide residents the tools and resources to reduce violence; change the expectation of violence in their neighborhoods; and expand opportunities for youth and families.
Core components of VIP include:
1) strengthening resident and community engagement through the development of neighborhood coalitions; 2) addressing neighborhood challenges that contribute to crime; and 3) coordinating community actions prior to and in the aftermath of homicides and shootings to promote equity and nonviolence.
