Is Violence Intervention and Prevention just a buzzphrase to be lenient on crime? Actually thoooooouugh...it isn't. It is far more complex than that.

Sure, you can "punish" those who participate in violent crimes, but does it truly solve the problem on a communal and behavioral level? Does it solve the long-term effects from the perspective of the perpetrator re-offending, the victims and those close to them, or the community?

We need to address it from a nuanced perspective—a public health approach to safety. Trauma informed care, grief support, survivor support, and divestment in community; these are all just a few of the many CVI lenses that support putting a lodge in the cycle of violence.

Stay tuned for the next episode of this series! Let us know your thoughts below and share!

Ending the stigma saves lives. Asking someone directly if they're thinking about su***de does not plant the idea, it opens the door to help.

Talking about it, listening without judgment, and taking every mention seriously can save a life. If it's you, you deserve support too. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Today we honor the people who show up for others, even when it's hard, even when no one's watching. 🌍

Our team walks alongside youth and families through some of their hardest moments, offering support, safety, and hope when it's needed most. That's humanitarian work too, and it happens right here in Hartford.

On World Humanitarian Day, we're grateful for every mentor, care manager, and advocate who shows up for our community every single day.

The formula for a safer Hartford isn't complicated: community + youth mentors + care managers + Care Bear. Add it up.

No matter how you run the numbers, it always comes back to the same thing: people showing up for people. That's what safety actually looks like in Hartford, and that's the work we get to do every day.
