Child Development–Community Policing: Partnership in a Climate of Violence
نویسنده
چکیده
The New Haven Department of Police Services and the Child Study Center at the Yale University School of Medicine have developed a unique collaborative program to address the psychological impact of the chronic exposure to community violence on children and families. The Child Development–Community Policing (CD–CP) program brings police officers and mental health professionals together to provide each other with training, consultation, and support, and to provide direct interdisciplinary intervention to children who are victims, witnesses, or perpetrators of violent crime. The New Haven program serves as a national model for police-mental health partnerships across the country.
