Healing Streets Project

Healing Streets focuses on disrupting long-term cycles of violence and has helped hundreds of residents heal and work through their grief when group and gun violence occurs.

Community mediators use a community-centered, healing-based approach to violence prevention and intervention that centers the narratives and lived experiences of those most impacted by violence.

When an act of group or gun violence occurs, Healing Streets community mediators work in the community to provide healing and support services to the families of people involved.

Healing Streets provides direct services in four key areas:

  • Community-centered violence prevention and intervention.
  • Healing and grief services for survivors of group or gun violence.
  • Hospital-based violence intervention.
  • School-based prevention, intervention and impacted peer advocacy.
