National Network of Hospital-based Violence Intervention Programs
The Wraparound Project has been affiliated with the NNHVIP since it's inception, working to strengthen existing hospital-based violence intervention programs and help develop similar programs in communities across the country.
A Young Man's Story...
Jeff is a good example of how Wraparound has made a difference. Fourteen years old and shot while walking with friends, he almost died three times during his initial trip to the operating room.

- Homicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for children ages 10 to 14
- Every year approximately 400 individuals are stabbed, shot, or assaulted in the city of San Francisco
Wraparound, together with other community-based organizations, has successfully helped reduce the rate of violent injury. Read More >>
