CVIC has had the privilege of being involved in the Grand Forks Safer Tomorrows Project, the largest collaborative effort to prevent youth exposure to violence in our community’s history. Safer Tomorrows was one of four projects in the nation to be awarded a $2 million U.S. Department of Justice Defending Childhood Initiative grant over two years to address the needs of local children exposed to violence. “This is a tremendous project for the community, “ Grand Forks Mayor Michael R. Brown said in a 2011 CVIC newsletter article. “It demonstrates our leadership in addressing tough issues, our commitment to young people and the strong spirit of collaboration we have in Grand Forks.” The City of Grand Forks, CVIC, Lutheran Social Services of ND and Grand Forks Public Schools provide leadership to the project, collaborating with dozens of other local organizations (at right) to prevent and reduce the impact of violence on local children, families and our community. Using a major community needs “ You who are on the road must have a code that you can live by ... so teach your children well. ” – Crosby Stills Nash Young and resources assessment to provide direction, the Safer Tomorrows Project developed a strategic plan to provide an outcome-driven road map for implementing a system of care that prevents and reduces the impact of all forms of violence on children, families and our community, including a focus on traditionally underserved populations. Safer Tomorrows “demonstrates our leadership in addressing tough issues, our commitment to young people and the strong spirit of collaboration we have in Grand Forks.” – Mayor Michael Brown The project focuses on three key areas, as described in the chart on the adjacent page: (1) Prevention, including healthy relationship education in schools, (2) Intervention, including new therapy and services and professional collaboration, and (3) Data, involving collection and analysis to better understand and respond to local violence.
