The Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant to Prisma Health-Midlands under the Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CFDA 16.045) to develop and implement a Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program (HVIP) at Prisma Health Richland Hospital Trauma Center in Columbia, South Carolina. The HVIP aims to reduce community violence and recidivism among high-risk teens and young adults living in underserved, marginalized, and high-crime areas of Columbia who are treated at the trauma center for violence-related injuries. The grant will fund the use of credible messengers, individuals with shared experiences as the program participants, to provide intensive case management and wraparound services addressing risk factors such as substance misuse, social/emotional health, and unemployment, while promoting protective factors like safety, housing, education, and social skill development. The project will be evaluated under a companion research and evaluation proposal submitted by Prisma Health-Midlands.
