How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Credible Messenger Model for Violence Preventionmethodology: credible_messenger_modelBy deploying trusted community members as outreach workers, the organization interrupts cycles of gun violence because individuals are more likely to heed conflict mediation from peers with shared lived experience and community credibility.
- Family-Centered Child Development Strategymethodology: family-centered_approachBy engaging parents in achieving their own goals around housing, education, and finances, the organization promotes child development because stable, empowered caregivers create stronger foundations for children’s growth and school readiness.
- Public Health Approach to Gun Violencemethodology: public_health_approach_to_violence_preventionBy treating gun violence as a preventable epidemic, the organization reduces shootings through community-based interventions and cross-sector collaboration, leveraging data and prevention strategies analogous to disease control.
- Systems Change Through Integrated Services and Advocacymethodology: systems-change-social-determinantsBy delivering integrated health and human services while simultaneously addressing systemic barriers like racism and ableism, the organization creates more equitable communities because service delivery combined with structural advocacy produces deeper, lasting change than either approach alone.
