Connecticut communities are stepping up to be there for kids impacted by violence. Whether those children saw a crime or were a victim, a new program aims to.
New Britain State’s Attorney Brian Preleski is launching a pilot program to connect children who have experienced trauma with treatment options, which Preleski described as a long-term effort to lower crime.
SAVED is modeled after the Open Doors Program in Montgomery Alabama, which was established in 2020. It will be piloted in New Britain and its surrounding cities during the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
