The Interrupting Violence with Youth and Young Adults (IVYY) Project at the Grady Health System is a hospital-based violence intervention program, offering wraparound services that are designed to reduce re-injury, retaliation and trauma symptoms of post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety related to potentially traumatic events.

IVYY works closely with community partners to increase participants’ self-awareness, engage them with their own health care, and connect them to resources, ranging from after school, employment, education, court and legal programs, and more. Their approach is trauma-informed and centers the patient’s life experiences as key to interrupting the cycle of violence.
