Social Worker
The SNUG Street Outreach program uses a public health model to address gun violence by identifying the source of the violence, interrupting the transmission, and offering services and support to those who wish to change their behavior. The Division of Criminal Justice Services administers funding to nonprofit organizations that operate the program in 15 communities.
The program employs individuals seen as credible messengers: those with ties to the communities in which they work who may have previous involvement with the criminal justice system. These outreach workers detect, interrupt and intervene in high-risk disputes to prevent retaliation through mediation, mentoring and access to resources and services, including education assistance, mental health services, and job readiness training.
A unique partnership between the Division of Criminal Justice Services and state Office of Victim Services also aims to address the trauma individuals and communities face due to long-term exposure to gun violence and provides help and support to improve lives and strengthen neighborhoods impacted by violence. Social Workers and case managers work at SNUG sites to provide mental health counseling and other services to individuals and families. Social Workers are embedded at hospitals serving SNUG sites to reach victims and families in the immediate aftermath of violence and connect them with services and support from SNUG teams.
