S03_E16 - The Next Step for Community Violence Prevention & Intervention
The rise of community violence has become an alarming issue in many areas, impacting the daily lives of residents, law enforcement, hospital personnel, and the overall health of neighborhoods. As these incidents increase, they bring with them a host of health (and life) problems that extend beyond immediate safety concerns. Understanding the causes and effects is crucial for developing effective strategies to restoring peace and stability, and breaking the cycle of community violence. And in Episode 16, to help us understand all of this, we are joined by Kentral Galloway, Director of the Next Step Program in Minneapolis.
The Next Step Program is dedicated to providing resources and immediate support to survivors of community violence. Kentral and his team are also instrumental in deterring future violence and fostering positive healing and a better future for those individuals and families affected. We'll have a candid conversation about what is happening in our communities, and share some of the intervention and prevention strategies that are being implemented to help curb these disturbing trends. You'll even learn how "narrative medicine" can be a helpful elixir.
It's an important topic, so please join us!
