FROM TRAUMA-INFORMED TO HEALING CENTERED

Complex, unhealed trauma is often the result of, and a driving force in community gun violence. So centering healing is essential for successful and sustained gun violence interruption and reduction in Sacramento.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH

HOLISTIC HEALING OF THE CULTURE

.

Holistic Healing of the Culture is a comprehensive, holistic, healing-centered approach to interrupting and reducing community gun violence. Rooted in the nationally recognized Peacemaker Fellowship model from Advance Peace, our expanded approach also reflects observations and lessons learned from our work in Sacramento, including the city’s unique cyclical and retaliatory gun violence patterns.  Holistic Healing of the Culture includes a prevention component (i.e. Junior Fellowship), gender diversity in the mentoring team, expanded community support services, and a pilot program that will incentivize non-aggression/peace agreements between rival neighborhoods/groups.

PEACEMAKER FELLOWSHIP

The Peacemaker Fellowship targets young adults (ages 18-29), identified as the 1% most likely to commit gun violence and/or be harmed by gun violence in neighborhoods with highest incidences. Centering healing, the primary components of the model include: Street Outreach, Mentoring, *Intense Case Management, Life Skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and *Subsidized Employment.

Junior Fellowship

The Junior Fellowship is the prevention version of the Peacemaker Fellowship, which focuses on youth (ages 12-17) who have demonstrated a propensity to behave violently and show warning signs of becoming the next generation of shooters. Outreach extends into the local juvenile detention center.

Gender DiversiTy

The mentoring team shall include a female Motivational Mentor in each target neighborhood. Diversifying the team acknowledges the unique, yet significant role females play in driving community gun violence in Sacramento. Female mentors provide a valuable, gender-specific perspective and influence for male and female fellows.

ADDRESING ROOT CAUSES & FACILITATING HEALING

Community gun violence adversely impacts the whole community (i.e. victims, perpetrators, the families, neighbors, business owners, etc). It creates, and is perpetuated by, individual and collective trauma; trauma that is passed from one generation to the next. Holistic Healing of the Culture seeks to interrupt this cycle of trauma and violence, by targeting those at the center, addressing the root causes, facilitating individual healing and progressively working outward to heal the family, community, and positively impact the culture.

Impact the Culture ~ Impact the Community

Community gun violence is a salient aspect of the community culture in M4L targeted zones. M4L’s holistic healing approach galvanizes community members to reinforce positive messaging and lifestyle choices for high risk youth and young people. Our formula is proven to reduce gun violence in communities where gun violence is most prevalent. M4L has impacted the culture in a positive manner, creating long term peaceful resolutions to potentially deadly conflict that could’ve easily erupted into city wide gang violence.  M4L has an unmatched track record for being able to reach the most hardened, trauma-impacted, would-be victims or perpetrators of gun violence in the city Sacramento.
