Group Violence Intervention

We work to address gun violence and homicide associated with groups and gangs.

A three-part approach to reducing group and gang violence

 
Group Violence Intervention (GVI) is a strategy that brings together:
  • Community members
  • Law enforcement 
  • Social services
We work together to reduce gun violence that is driven by groups and gangs. We work with those at greatest risk of being involved in gun violence by:
  • Helping them understand the moral and legal consequences of continued engagement in violence
  • Connecting them to support and outreach providers who can:
    • Help protect them from risk
    • Provide needed resources
    • Address trauma
    • Create an off-ramp away from the cycle of violence
