Creative Interventions – National Story Collecting Project

Do you know anyone who has intervened in violence within their family – friend – or social network? Was the intervention successful?

In 2004, Creative Interventions is launching a multilingual, multicultural National Story Collecting Project in collaboration with Generation FIVE , a San Francisco-based organization seeking to end sexual abuse of children within five generations through survivor leadership, community organizing, and public action.

This is the first documentation project on community-based interventions to family, intimate partner, and other forms of interpersonal violence. The collection of these stories from diverse communities across the country will help us better understand what makes interventions successful. These stories will also inform and inspire others who want to do something to end violence in their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

If you know of any stories or are interested in volunteering to collect these stories, please contact us at stories@creative-interventions.org or call 510-452-8595.

Creative Interventions – Community-Based Interventions Pilot Project

Helping you to stop violence creatively, effectively, and collectively.

In 2005, Creative Interventions plans to launch its Community-Based Interventions Pilot Project. This is a San Francisco Bay Area based project in which Creative Interventions and other collaborative partners will offer resources to any individuals, family members, social network members, or community groups seeking effective, sustainable interventions to family, intimate partner, and other forms of interpersonal violence. The results of the Community-Based Interventions Pilot Project will lead to a model replicable across diverse communities and geographic regions.

The Community-Based Interventions Pilot Project will include:

• Creation of a model for effective violence intervention

• Evaluation of effectiveness of interventions

• In-person education on violence intervention for anyone interested

• In-person facilitation of intervention teams and intervention strategies for anyone interested

• Follow-up for intervention teams

• Support resources including supportive counseling and abuse treatment

• Multilingual and multicultural accessibility

• Replicability to diverse communities and geographic regions
