The Motivation Behind
MOTHERS AGAINST GANG VIOLENCE
Mothers Against Gang Violence (MAG Violence) was developed May 16, 2017 by Tekesia Shields, a mother who experienced the horror of peer pressure from community gangs and teen decision making.
MAG Violence has connected with several community resources to provide assistance with improving our youth behaviors and providing education, hope support for parents who are in need of additional comfort.
OBJECTIVE
Mothers Against Gang Violence (MAG Violence) helps teens avoid gangs, provide teens with love, enable the teen to feel powerful and help teens feel needed with the help of the community.
One of the ways we set out to accomplish this objective is by presenting opportunities and exposure to students who may not be engaged in productive activities outside of the home.
CONCLUSION
The Family Engagement program, in its entirety, embodies the mission of Mothers Against Gun Violence: to heal, empower, and support families affected by violence.
Each aspect of the program from crime scene cleanup to trauma response, provides families with the tools and resources they need to navigate their grief, advocate for justice, and rebuild their lives. We believe that healing is possible, but it requires a multi-faceted approach that meets the complex, diverse needs of families.
This program is more than just a series of services; it is a lifeline that provides hope, restores dignity, and ensures that every family has the chance to heal and thrive. With the right support, this program is an investment in the future of our communities.
