Why Do Programs Like Hope and Shield Matter?
Research shows that individuals who experience violence are at greater risk for future injury, ongoing trauma and other health challenges. Hospital-based violence intervention programs provide support during a critical moment when individuals and families may be most open to receiving help.
By combining medical care, trauma-informed support and community resources, The Hope and Shield Network helps individuals and families build safer, healthier futures.
