Mississippi Violence Injury Prevention (VIP) Program

Activation of Operation Good, our community partner with a history of direct violence interruption in the streets and longitudinal health and wellness services to firearm injured patient (i.e. linking and aiding those who have suffered from violent injury to mental healthcare, job services, educational services)

A menu of services provided to the community in an activated cluster where funding will be provided to assist that community in holding events that support overall health and wellness (community clean-up, legal advisory services, pop-up clinic for blood pressure checks).

A participant in an activated cluster after firearm injury will receive two disbursements of 500$. One at the time of initial hospital evaluation and a second disbursement \~1 month later to offset the financial burden associated with firearm injury on the individual.
