VIOLENCE INTERVENTION
We prevent shootings and retaliation by mediating conflict, supporting those at highest risk, and disrupting cycles of harm with credible messengers and street-level engagement.
Endangered Kind applies Violence Intervention by leveraging community trust:
​​
-
Intervene in real time to defuse disputes and prevent retaliation or escalation.
-
Provide immediate, trauma-informed support in the aftermath of violent incidents to promote healing and reduce further harm.
-
Facilitate safe spaces for high-risk individuals to process trauma, build coping strategies, and receive mentorship.
-
Maintain trusted, visible presence in areas most impacted by violence to build relationships and connect individuals to support.
-
Use real-time data and on-the-ground insight to focus interventions in areas experiencing the highest levels of violence.
-
Involve local residents in identifying threats, co-creating strategies, and building a collective culture of safety and accountability.
-
Connect individuals to wraparound services — including counseling, employment, and housing — that support long-term stability.
-
Work alongside grassroots leaders, block captains, community organizations, and local partners to share insights and coordinate efforts.
