Addressing Burnout Through Wellness in the Workplace
This project seeks to address chronic burnout among community violence intervention workers by providing trauma-informed mental health resources, peer support networks, and sustainable compensation strategies. By tackling key stressors such as financial insecurity, excessive workloads, and lack of tailored wellness programs, this initiative aims to improve retention, strengthen violence prevention efforts and ensure long-term community safety.
