Violence Prevention Program at UMMC Shock Trauma

The Violence Prevention Program is determined to reduce the frequency and the severity of recidivism for violent injury and criminal activity among persons living in and around Baltimore City. Committed to Dr. King’s vision of “The Beloved Community,” our services focus on the enhancement of personal strengths, conflict resolution and the development of community relationships.

The VPP includes several component services:

  • Violence Intervention Project (VIP): The nationally recognized and evidence, hospital-based violence intervention program.
  • The Bridge Project: a Domestic Violence initiative to break the cycle of intimate partner violence.
  • VPP Educational Programs: The VPP offers two different educational programs tailored tot he needs of our Baltimore City youth with strong focus surrounding decision making and future goal setting.
