In summary, both community-based and individual-level interventions have critical roles in crime prevention, but their success is often enhanced when they are used in tandem, addressing both the community environment and the needs of individuals at risk.

2. Intergenerational trauma highlights the transmission of trauma across generations. How can interventions break this cycle in families and communities?

- Intervening to break the cycle, this requires a combination of approaches.

* Strengthening Families:

- Breaking patterns of silence: learning to open up about your family history. This is a great way to put yourself out there, letting others and yourself see that you are not alone.

- Personal note: I came from a drug/alcohol family. Nobody attended college. I am drug free, drink socially and about to graduate with a bachelors degree. This is proof that cycles can be broken.

* Long Term Commitment:

- Trauma is an ongoing process. It can be overcome with help from your community, friends and/or family. Continually revisiting strategies and addressing new challenges that approach to help overcome them. If communities and institutions addressed issues as they occur it’ll help those feel more comfortable.

- Personal note: I was in an abusive relationship before. Which made me feel unsafe in any relationship I was in. So I would push people away. But with help from my family and friends, I was able to overcome it and trust again. Now I have an amazing husband and two handsome boys.

Learning to take care of yourself first is a requirement for overcoming.

1. How can local communities upwards to the federal government change policy to better help funding for mental health, specifically within criminal justice?

* Allowing more fundings. Not only in the general aspect but as well as the criminal justice system also.

* Wide range; local communities all the way up to the federal level.

Local

1. Budgeting

- Ensuring jails and communities receive the proper care, at a reasonable time. Increasing local funds.

- Hand on training for law, giving them the proper knowledge to handle a mental health crises with de-escalation techniques.

State

1. Statewide Crisis Intervention Training (CIT)

- Mandating and funding CIT for officers, first responders and any other responders. Allowing them to be properly equipped to handle mental health crises. Giving appreciate care, rather than just sending them to jail immediately.
