Rochester Youth Violence Partnership
We believe youth violence is a community health problem that requires a community solution. The Rochester Youth Violence Partnership (RYVP) is a hospital-based violence intervention program that targets trauma victims under the age of 18 when they present for medical care following a knife or gun injury. Established in 2006, the RYVP is a partnership headed by the Medical Center’s regional trauma center and supported by 28 local nonprofit, government, and service-based organizations. The hospital serves as the “first responder” by recognizing the problem, identifying at-risk patients, and treating injuries. Once the patient is stabilized and the psycho-social issues identified, a coordinated series of law-enforcement and community partner-led interventions occur to help reduce violence in this vulnerable population.
