Iniciativa para una Juventud Segura y Exitosa

Iniciativa Juventud Segura y Exitosa | Una Iniciativa de Intervención y Prevención de la Violencia entre Jóvenes y Adultos Jóvenes

Resumen

The Safe and Successful Youth Initiative (SSYI) is a youth violence intervention initiative that operates in 14 Commonwealth of Massachusetts cities with the highest young adult crime rates. SSYI targets a small number of individuals, ages 17-24, that have been identified as “proven risk” or “impact players.” These individuals are determined by local law enforcement to be substantially gang-involved, most likely to be a victim or perpetrator of a violent weapons offense, or engaged in high-volume illegal activity. SSYI outreach workers reach out and develop a relationship with these individuals and then offer them a chance to redirect their lives through educational, employment, and behavioral health services. SSYI combines public health and public safety approaches for eliminating youth violence.

Los 14 programas de la SSYI son supervisados por la Oficina Ejecutiva de Salud y Servicios Humanos, (EOHHS, Executive Office of Health and Human Services). Commonwealth Corporation proporciona asistencia a EOHHS en la gestión fiscal y administrativa de programas y asistencia técnica a los 14 centros financiados.

En la primavera de 2020, EOHHS lanzó el programa de subvención SSYI Trata Humana (Human Trafficking, HT). A través de este programa, tres organizaciones sin fines de lucro proporcionan servicios de orientación a sobrevivientes de la trata humana, entre 10 y 24 años de edad (ofrecidos por empleados mentores que también son sobrevivientes de la trata humana). Los participantes reciben apoyo en materia de salud conductual, salud, educación, vivienda, educación financiera, empleo, transporte y otras áreas. Las organizaciones sin fines de lucro beneficiarias también ofrecen capacitación sobre la trata humana. Commonwealth Corporation proporciona asistencia administrativa a EOHHS para esta iniciativa, incluida la gestión fiscal.

The American Institutes for Research (AIR) and WestEd conducted a series of studies on the effectiveness of the SSYI program on behalf of the MA Executive Office of Health and Human Services. In this study, we use the results of an Interrupted Time Series (ITS) study examining SSYI’s impact on community violence victimizations.
