The city is hiring consultants to further develop, design, and implement trauma-informed programming in hopes of helping young people and families deal with the stress of violence on city streets and sometimes in the home.
Griffin sees this as critical for young people who need to develop the skills to overcome the challenges of dealing with trauma.
“We want our rec centers to be a relief valve, we want to put good programming in those rec centers so it’s not just a holding space or young people,” he said.But also, in an effort to gain trust, an investment was made in training the people who already were available in the rec centers... Familiar faces.
“We want to make sure we have real trained social workers and professionals but also, in addition, we want to make sure the workers who a lot of the families and children trust, that work in the rec centers, we also want to make sure that they are trained,” Griffin said. The rec centers in Cleveland will continue to offer the usual programming including life skills and work training programs.
