As the city filed it
Youth violence in our City is a critical problem. The City is working on integrated wraparound models that combine credible community members with lived experience of involvement in violence with integrated City, health and community staff teams aimed at violence prevention, interruption and intervention. This model leverages the lived experience of affected communities to develop and implement effective community engagement approaches, innovative communication tools, social media strategies and targeted investment geared at violence prevention, interruption and intervention.

Advance Peace is a similar approach that comes out of experiences in the United States. Advance Peace works with both public and community stakeholders to establish responsive community driven strategies that achieve high impact results. Advance Peace is an opportunity to enhance the services and programs offered by our Community Crisis Response Program.
