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.

Uma Iniciativa de Prevenção e Intervenção da Violência de Jovens e Jovens Adultos
Visão geral
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.
Os 14 programas SSYI são supervisionados pelo Escritório Executivo de Saúde e Serviços Humanos (EOHHS). A Commonwealth Corporation fornece assistência de gerenciamento de programas, fiscal e administrativo ao EOHHS e assistência técnica aos 14 locais financiados.
Além disso, na primavera de 2020, a EOHHS lançou o programa de subsídios SSYI Human Trafficking (HT). Por meio desse programa, três organizações sem fins lucrativos fornecem orientação a sobreviventes – serviços para mentorados sobreviventes de tráfico humano, com idades entre 10 e 24 anos, fornecidos por mentores da equipe que também são sobreviventes de tráfico humano. Os mentorados recebem apoio em saúde comportamental, saúde, educação, moradia, educação financeira, emprego, transporte e outras áreas. Os donatários sem fins lucrativos também oferecem treinamento sobre tráfico de pessoas. A Commonwealth Corporation fornece assistência administrativa, incluindo gestão fiscal, ao EOHHS para esta iniciativa.
