Doctor works to save youth from violence before they reach his ER

As an emergency physician at Kings County Hospital Center [in Brooklyn], Dr. Rob Gore has faced many traumatic situations that he'd rather forget. But some moments stick with him. "Probably lhe worst thing that l've ever had to do is tell a 15-year-old's mother that her son was killed," Gore said. "lf I can't keep somebody alive, l've failed." [...]

"Conflict's no! avoidable. But violent conflict is," Gore said. "Seeing a lot of lhe traumas that take place at work, or in lhe neighborhood, you realize, 'I don't want this to happen anymore. What do we do about it?"'

For Gore, one answer is lhe "Kings Against Violence lnitiative" - known as KAVI - which he started in 2009. Today, the nonprofit has anti-violence programs in the hospital, schools and broader community, serving more than 250 young people.

Victims of violence are more likely to be reinjured, so the first place Gore wanted to work was in the hospital, with an intervention program in which "hospital responders" assist victims of violence and their family - a model pioneered at other hospitais. The idea is that reaching ou! right after someone has been injured reduces the likelihood of violent retaliation and providas a chance for the victim to address some of lhe circumstances that may have led to their injury.

Gore started this program at his hospital with a handful of volunteers from KAVI. Today, lhe effort is a partnership between KAVI and a few other nonprofits, with teams on call 24/7.

Yet Gore wanted to preveni people from being violently injured in the first place. So, in 2011, he and his group began working with a handful of at-risk students a! a nearby high school. By lhe end of lhe year, more than 50 students were involved. Today, KAVI holds weekly workshops for male and female students in three schools, teaching mediation and conflict resolution. The group also provides free mental health counseling for students who need one-on-one support.

"Violence is everywhere they. turn - home, school, neighborhood, police," Gore said. "You want to make sure they can learn how to process, deal with it and overcome it."

While Gore still regularly attends workshops, most are now led by peer facilitators - recent graduates and college students, some of whom are former KAVI members - who serve as mentors to the students. School administrators say lhe program has been a success: lowering violence, raising grades and sending many graduates on to college.

"This is really about the community in which we live" he said. "This is my home. And l'm going to do whatever is possible to make sure people can actually thrive."
