Interventions

BEHAVIORALTurning the Tide Violence Intervention Program (hospital violence intervention program)

TTVIP is already integrated into the regular care of patients who are violently injured and treated at MUSC Charleston. Client advocates provide immediate support, help with communication and provide anti-retaliation messaging to victims of violence and their families, in addition to helping support their healthcare. Patients that opt to be followed for long-term wrap-around services and live in the surrounding 3-county area are supported for months (up to 1 year) after injury and provided mentorship, service referrals (i.e. education, employment, substance abuse, injury recovery, pro-social activities, housing) and mental health services.
