And I can add a little, couple more points to that.

Beyond the school based work, the health department has, 2 programs, that, address violence and our mental health response.

The first, hospital based violence intervention program reduces or aims to reduce the risk of readmission for violent injuries among patients who are admitted to hospitals following non fatal assaults.

And so, this is, a bedside conflict mediation to follow-up, to a violent event.

And secondly, we have a Strong Messenger project, which provides mental health support to the city's largest, violence response issue, the Cure Violence Program.

So, we provide mental health support to the Cure Violence Credible Messengers.
