Projects
Here at The CRIB, we recognize the importance of collaborating with communities and partner with service providers, first responders and community based agencies in our research projects. The CRIB is currently involved in a number of local and international initiatives relevant to violence and victimization;
SUPPORTING MALE SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCEThe Supporting Male Survivors of Violence (SMSV) Baltimore project identifies needs and addresses gaps in services to support effective community-based, trauma-focused treatment and support services for young male survivors of color (YMOC) between the ages of 14-24 and their families who live in the Madison/East End neighborhoods of Baltimore, Maryland. The CRIB serves as the lead evaluator for this project. LEARN MORE |
SURVIVORS OF HOMICIDE VICTIMS AND MENTAL HEALTH In partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), Ontario. The CRIB developed the Survivors of Homicide Victims and Mental Health Project (SHVMH) to address the needs of Ontarians affected by homicide violence. The project will engage service providers within systems of care to understand gaps in survivor services; identify promising practices; and determine where culturally responsive strategies are needed across the province. |
INVENTORY OF COPING FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN SURVIVORS OF HOMICIDE VICTIMSThe need for valid measures that capture the racial and culturally bound manifestation of homicide related grief for African American survivors of homicide victims led to the development of the Inventory of Coping for African American Survivors of Homicide Victims (ICAASHV) (Unpublished raw data). The ICAASHV is a measure designed to assess the origins and types of coping strategies used by African American survivors of homicide victims. This project examined the validity of the ICAASHV and assessed potential associations between coping with homicide violence, mental, behavioral health and well-being outcomes for African American adults |
NATIONAL YOUTH ART MOVEMENTIn partnership with the National Youth Art Movement (NYAM), The CRIB serves as the leading homicide expert in a Youth Leadership and Gun Violence Prevention movement designed to create a national curriculum for high school students in the United States. |
