Communities Partnering 4 Peace
MISSION
Convened by Metropolitan Peace Initiatives, Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P) provides community violence intervention (CVI), a comprehensive, long-term approach to reducing gun violence in communities at highest risk
Street Outreach
Relationship-based interventions prevent violence. Street outreach workers identify and respond to threats/incidents. Intervention involves using strategies to de-escalate tensions, control rumors, and support families of victims and perpetrators of violence to prevent the next shooting.
Case Management
Proactive services mitigate further high-risk situations. Case Managers connect individuals at risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of violence with supportive services. Services include:
- Legal and restorative justice
- Employment
- Family support
- Trauma-informed mental health
- Substance abuse services
Victim Services professionals are here to help.
Victim Services
Engaging victims of gun violence ensures social-emotional needs are met. Victim Advocates respond to incidents of violence, providing support to impacted individuals and their family. They institute safety plans, provide wraparound services that are specific to the victims, and pay particular attention to mental health and emotional support needs.
Light in the Night
Free events empower communities to reclaim safe spaces. Partner organizations host events in public spaces, for all in the community. Gatherings feature food and activities for all ages, offering productive alternatives and creating access to the parks for everyone.
