BLOOM
Project BLOOM centers Black women caregivers as essential leaders in community violence intervention. By developing the Violence Exposure, Risk, and Resilience Scale (VERRS) and piloting the High Touch Individualized Support Framework (HTISF), the project provides trauma-informed, family-centered care to women most impacted by violence. Through individualized support and data-driven evaluation, Project BLOOM aims to strengthen women’s healing, family stability, and community safety—advancing a scalable, gender-responsive model for violence prevention.
