NNHVIP Spotlight:
Minneapolis Youth Violence Intervention Program
In this quarter's E-newsletter, NNHVIP spotlights Minneapolis Youth Violence Intervention Program (MY-VIP), recipients of the 2012 Marla Becker Scholarship.
More information about the Scholarship can be found here on our website.
David Swarthout, Supervisor of Emergency Behavioral Medicine at North Memorial Hospital in Minneapolis, MN, on his site visit to Boston Medical Center:
"I was privileged to attend a site visit in Boston on May 20-21, 2013 to explore how Boston Medical Center has built such a successful program that starts when the violently injured youth arrives in the hospital and/or Emergency Department. A design advantage is that staff who provide services inpatient are not hospital mental health providers or medical social workers who squeeze a few minutes of counseling or care coordination into an already frantic schedule. They are designated to serve the program participants solely, do not work strict 9-5 hours and are not limited by the model of office-based appointments. Many of the staff have had had similar life struggles and some are former participants, all of which give them street credibility. What most distinguished this program was 1) the consistent collaboration between the various agencies/programs that work with participants/families; and 2) the work training programs that have evolved to teach specialized trade skills (personal training & boat building) to program participants. Boston Medical Center heals youth/families in crisis and then teaches them "how to fish" to be better equipped/prepared to "feed themselves" in the future."
