Funding Hospital Programs to Break the Cycle of Violence and Reduce Reinjury.
This law establishes a new grant program providing funds to trauma centers to create or expand violence intervention and prevention programs. The goal is to break the cycle of violence by reducing the rate of reinjury and reincarceration among individuals treated for intentional violent trauma. This initiative aims to enhance public safety and health services in high-risk communities.
Key points
Grants (ranging from $250,000 to $500,000) will be awarded to trauma centers in communities experiencing high levels of intentional violence.
The programs focus on victims of violence to prevent them from returning to the hospital or jail due to subsequent acts of aggression.
The Secretary must develop and share best practices for violence prevention based on the findings of these funded programs within six years.
