The Second Chance Initiative (SCI) violence prevention program provides a community-focused approach to violence prevention. Central to SCI's philosophy is the belief that violence is a learned behavior and can be mitigated through strategies akin to disease control. The program focuses on detecting potential violence and intervening promptly through trained messengers. It provides ongoing behavior modification and support to high-risk individuals. Efforts are made to change community norms from violence acceptance to rejecting violence as a norm. Data is continuously analyzed to ensure effective implementation and identify trends. Staff receive comprehensive training and technical support for proper execution. These execution components include:High-Risk Individual Identification: Through structured intake criteria, SCI identifies and engages with high-risk youth and young adults. Individuals must meet criteria, such as gang involvement, violent criminal history, or recent victimization.Street Outreach Workers: Their street outreach program ensures 24/7 availability of workers who intervene in conflicts, preventing retaliatory violence. They prioritize keeping conflicts in check through mediation and continuous follow-ups. Outreach workers are chosen for their credibility within high-risk communities. Outreach workers are provided a State of Illinois required 40 hour violence prevention training and quarterly booster training.Case Management: Utilizing case managers, SCI develops tailored plans and connect individuals to vital resources and services, facilitating their transition away from violent lifestyles.Victim Services: SCI provides support to victims of violence, aiding in their physical and emotional recovery by empowering them with skills, services, and opportunities.Changing Social Norms: Through media campaigns, events, and partnerships with community organizations and law enforcement, SCI strives to foster a societal consensus against violence.
