Non-profit — Philadelphia Begins to Coordinate Youth Anti-Gun Efforts on a City Level.

Philadelphia CeaseFire

CeaseFire is a structured, deliberate and disciplined violence intervention that was developed in Chicago based on the premise that violence is a public health issue and can be prevented. The program in Philadelphia is one of the national replication sites of Cure Violence (formerly known as Chicago Ceasefire) public health model and focuses its efforts to stop shootings and killings in hot spots in the 22nd and 39th Police Districts in North Philadelphia. The approach includes efforts to heighten community awareness about gun violence and encourage area residents, community, business and faith based leaders to work together and get involved.

Philadelphia Anti-Drug/Anti-Violence Network

CCIP combats violence by intervening where the violence is most prevalent. We use credible messengers who are products of Philadelphia's most violent neighborhoods as outreach workers to foster meaningful relationships with would be perpetrators as well as law-abiding residents. CCIP works to provide those involved in criminal activities with positive alternatives. We respond to neighborhood crisis with mediation and resources and a willingness to support anyone looking for a peaceful alternative.

Family Training and Advocacy Center for Mental Illness

FTAC maintains its 20-year tradition of providing a family perspective to advocacy, by serving on all DHB/IDS committees dealing with services and/or policy where we are invited. This has included providing support to the DBH Legislative Work Group. On a continuing basis, we also provide policy and advocacy updates to families and family serving agencies, especially at regular Family Resource Network Meetings (FRN). Also, legislative alerts and policy updates are shared with FRN members, DBH staff, and other interested parties in the City and across the Commonwealth on a regular, meeting by meeting, basis.

PMHCC- A Human Service Systems Management Company
