Lifting Inspirations, LLC, and our non-profit arm, Mind, Body & Soul, Inc. have formed a Community Violence Intervention team and begun the work of youth gun violence prevention and intervention in Charlotte, NC. We have joined a Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Learning Community through the Center for Policing Equity and The Council of State Governments Justice Center. Through guided training and mentorship, we are preparing for participation in transformative change among community youth. We are preparing to safely engage youth voice and participation in community violence prevention and intervention strategies.
Our first CVI initiative is a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) program. See our YPAR program description for more details.
