Mental Health Programs for Gun Violence Prevention

Summary

The bill would have the city of Gainesville launch a pilot program that provides mental‑health counseling, conflict‑resolution training, and education or job opportunities to people ages 10‑21 who are at moderate or high risk of gun violence. It targets at‑risk youth, their families, and young adults returning from delinquency programs, aiming to reduce violence and its health impacts. The program would be run by IMPACT GNV with partners from the juvenile‑justice system and would expire in 2030.
