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.
- Culturally Credible Messenger Modelmethodology: culturally-credible-messengersBy using former gang members and culturally attuned, licensed professionals as messengers, the organization increases engagement and trust among at-risk populations, because lived experience and cultural resonance enhance credibility and reduce stigma around intervention and mental health services.
- Holistic Youth Development to Prevent Gang Involvementmethodology: holistic_youth_developmentBy integrating social, physical, economic, cultural, and spiritual support, the organization empowers at-risk youth and prevents gang involvement, because comprehensive development builds resilience, self-worth, and alternatives to destructive pathways.
- Public Health Approach to Violence Preventionmethodology: public_health_approach_to_violenceBy treating violence as a preventable epidemic or contagious disease, the organization intervenes through community-based outreach, conflict mediation, and violence interruption to reduce its spread, because this model enables early detection, behavioral change, and community-level immunity to violent behavior.
- Trauma-Informed Care in Crisis Responsemethodology: trauma-informed_careBy applying trauma-informed care principles in hospital and community crisis settings, the organization improves safety and engagement, because recognizing trauma histories helps de-escalate crises and build trust with individuals who may otherwise disengage from services.
- Wraparound Support to Address Root Causesmethodology: wraparound_supportBy connecting individuals in crisis to a coordinated network of social services, the organization reduces reliance on emergency systems, because addressing underlying social, economic, and psychological needs prevents recurring crises.
