MetroHealth, Cuyahoga Co. (Ohio) Common Pleas Court work to address trauma in gun-related crimes

The MetroHealth Institute for Health through Opportunity, Partnership, and Empowerment (HOPE) Trauma Recovery Center recently signed a contract with the court to provide trauma counseling and mental health support for defendants in the Violence Intervention Docket, also known as “Gun Court.” All of the defendants participating in the program are indicted on gun-related charges.
The counseling screens repeat offenders to address why they feel the need to carry a gun, or commit crimes.
