Ending Gun Violence & Strengthening Our Community
Imagine if every person had someone they could truly trust. Someone who understands what they’re going through, because they’ve been there themselves. A person to step in when tensions are rising to potentially devastating and deadly levels. Imagine providing proof there is an “other side” of the desperate survival situations many people face.
In response to increasing firearm violence in Lansing Michigan, MPHI has partnered with Advance Peace and the Ingham County Health Department to establish an Advance Peace Peacemaker Fellowship. The approach uses the evidence-based practices of street outreach, mentoring, intensive case management, life skills training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and subsidized employment to engage those at the center of gun violence.
The Advance Peace Lansing Peacemaker Fellowship is committed to ending gun violence and promoting neighborhood safety and social cohesion by investing in the healthy development and wellbeing of individuals at the center of gun violence.
