Trauma and Violence Impacted Families Program (TVIF)
The Trauma and Violence Impacted Families Program is structured as a collaborative City and County services multi-disciplinary team, created to provide support for youth/adults and families to break intergenerational ties that perpetuate violence with the community. It serves as the single point of contact to provide quick response to TVIF clients by setting appropriate service schedules and conducting service assessments. In addition, the program assists in connecting youth/adults and families with pro-social assistance programming and resources.
