The Children's Institute, Inc. (CII) was awarded a $825,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (CFDA 16.818 - Children Exposed to Violence) to implement the Children Exposed to Violence (CEV) program. The CEV program is designed to address the widespread impact of adverse childhood experiences in the Rampart community of Los Angeles, which has high rates of domestic and community violence but limited resources to address trauma. The program will provide a continuum of trauma-informed, culturally appropriate services including on-site response at LAPD crime scenes involving children, counseling, follow-up support, leveraged evidence-based mental health care, linkage to additional resources, and concrete supports. CII will also leverage existing funding to offer evidence-based mental health services and provide access to positive youth development activities, including the Wyman Teen Outreach Program and arts programming through the sub-recipient, P.S. Arts. The overall goals are to strengthen protective factors and build resilience among enrolled children and families, expand services available in the Rampart community, and build community capacity to prevent and respond to violence.
