Measuring Peace

Please join us for our next installment of Measuring Peace. This time we are taking a Deep Dive into Victim Support and the Art of Making Connections.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9

8:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.

Northern Trust: 50 S. LaSalle St.

In 2024, we saw tremendous growth in the number of victims and families accepting Nonviolence Chicago victim support services. This growth was not by chance.

Victims of gun violence and perpetrators are often part of the same social network. Understanding how shootings are connected informs CVIs on how to best collaborate. By regularly reviewing the data with a defined strategy for collaboration, our outreach and victim services teams have been able to engage and support more individuals and families than ever before—enabling us to connect them to critical resources to help them through their healing process.

Get answers to these questions and more!

• How does strategic collaboration between street outreach, victim support, and behavioral health teams make you safer in Chicago?

• How does victim support and street outreach use data to engage more victims and participants?

• How do victim advocates work with street outreach and behavioral health teams to support families through their vulnerable time of grief and prevent future violence?

Hear from:

• Kelly Carroll, Associate Director of Behavioral Health & Wellness, Institute for Nonviolence Chicago

• Nekenya Hardy, Associate Director of Outreach and Interventions, Institute for Nonviolence Chicago

• Les Jenkins, Associate Director of Reentry & Support Services, Institute for Nonviolence Chicago

We hope you can join us for this exclusive deep dive into victim support. Please RSVP.
