Last week, Family Advocates - Sergio Gonzalez, Anna Drewett, and Ayda Torres - attended the "In Her Shoes" event hosted by Grapevine PD Victim Assistance Unit. This was an educational and interactive experience where they learned several barriers on “why they (domestic violence victims) don’t just leave?” They went through several scenarios and had to make hard decisions along the way just like real victims do. Our staff consistently pursue eye-opening and educational opportunities to broaden their views and find new ways to help support our clients. 💜🫶

How can places of worship enhance security measures to protect their congregations and visitors? Community Shaken: Three Shot Outside Ohio City Church During Evening Event Three individuals were shot outside St. Malachi Parish in Cleveland during a Monday night meal event. All sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The incident, believed to be a shootout, did not involve parish members or guests but caused significant alarm and damage to parked cars. Police are investigating and increasing patrols to ensure neighborhood safety. Key Takeaways: - Enhanced Security Measures: Emphasize the importance of increasing security at places of worship, including surveillance systems, security personnel, and emergency response plans. - Community Support Services: Highlight the need for accessible mental health support and counseling for individuals affected by violent incidents to aid in their recovery and well-being. - Collaborative Violence Prevention: Discuss the significance of police-community partnerships in creating comprehensive strategies to prevent violence and ensure public safety in community spaces. #churchsecurity #churchsafety https://lnkd.in/guhi2jm4

#Grant Opportunities As we enter Gun Violence Awareness Month this June, it's imperative that we unite to address this pressing issue. Every year, countless lives are tragically lost or forever altered by gun violence, impacting families, communities, and our society as a whole. At the intersection of this critical conversation lies an opportunity to not only raise awareness but also to take action. Amidst the challenges we face, it's essential to recognize that addressing gun violence is a multifaceted effort requiring collaboration, resources and innovative solutions. Here at the Division of Criminal Justice, we have the the Multidisciplinary Crime Prevention and Crisis Intervention Grant available to combat both the immediate and long-term effects, including initiatives aimed at reducing gun violence. By leveraging this grant, organizations and communities can implement evidence-based strategies, such as violence intervention programs, mental health support services, and community outreach efforts. These initiatives are intended to foster resilience and promote healing in our communities. As we observe Gun Violence Awareness Month, let's not only raise awareness but also take tangible steps towards creating safer, more resilient communities. Head to our website to view the list of grants available today. Together, we can make a meaningful difference. https://lnkd.in/gVHqm3ya #SafterTogether #SaferTogether
