Think Outside The Cell

Urban Warriors is a program of the YMCA of Metro Chicago's Youth Safety and Violence Prevention (YSVP) initiative. YSVP is a comprehensive, trauma-informed approach to violence prevention that looks at past exposure to trauma as a main driver of future dangerous behaviors. This initiative integrates evidence-based violence prevention strategies throughout the Y’s existing programming, including Early Education and Care, Community Schools Initiative sites, teen programming at the Y membership centers, as well as part of our Juvenile Reentry and Street Intervention Programs. In October, I'll meet with Urban Warriors to present "The Long Shadow of Incarceration's Stigma" and discuss with them the ways in which they are mindfully slowing the cycle of vicarious trauma and violence in Chicago. Dates TBA. With thanks and gratitude to Eddie & team.
