Family Coaching is a program offered directly by the DVP to high-risk individuals and their families. Coaches and families practice constructive ways of problem solving, communicating, and making decisions that they are able to apply to any problem the family needs to address, including exposure to violence. This work will strengthen relationships between family members inside and outside the home from multiple generations in order to increase family cohesion, pride, and sources of support.
Crisis responders from the DVP and violence interrupters from DVP-funded organizations respond within one hour of activation to shootings in Oakland that are related to network conflicts or gender-based violence (GBV). This process is known as the Triangle Incident Response, and it is initiated when the DVP receives a notification of a shooting from the Oakland Police Department. The DVP maintains a staff of three individuals who respond to incidents related to network conflicts and three individuals who respond to incidents related to GBV. These staff are assigned to respond on a rotating schedule by day of the week, with one network responder and one GBV responder on call at all times. Violence interrupters employed by DVP-funded organizations are similarly assigned to respond based on days of the week and regions of Oakland.
