Healing Hurt People: confronting and ending the cycle of violence
Healing People, Building Community: Dr. Alisha Moreland-Capuia, Dr. Maggie Bennington-Davis, and Cheryl Johnson, Ed.m QHMA join us to discuss Healing Hurt People Portland, an innovative program that seeks to break the cycle of violence that harms many in our communities.

Healing Hurt People Portland (HHP) serves males of color, ages 10 to 25 years, who have experienced an intentional trauma such as gunshot or stab wounds. The goal of the program is to reduce retaliatory violence. While in the emergency room at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center a multi-displinary team (social worker, doctor and other support) begins to address the trauma and find ways to connect the victim to resources to include, but not limited to emotional support, family support, housing, medical follow-up, substance abuse treatment, legal and educational support. HHP employs a trauma-informed approach (read more about the HHP model), which takes into account the adversity that clients have experienced over their life course and recognizes that addressing this trauma is critical to breaking the cycle of violence.
Participate in the conversation with your thoughts on how we address violence in our communities and build a safer healthier environment for all. 503-231-8187, moretalkradio@gmail.com
