current project: video gaming vs gun violence and crime in illinois
The
Totally Gaming Academy Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) and
Trauma Informed Mentoring (TGA-TIM) program is focused on gun violence and
crime prevention, restorative justice, and is an advocate for public safety.
All participants will be taught and learn to become video gamers acquiring employable,
sustaining skills applicable to real-life careers, such as robotics,
web-development, computer gaming science, engineering software, music
composing, esports analyst, video editing, political science analyst, knowledge
of statistical trends, and mathematics-financial analyst advancing racial,
financial, health, community equity, along with understanding how traumatic
events may shape their lives.
The TGA–TIM program will serve a diverse ethnic and gender group of
individuals, ages 18 and older, with or without special needs, such as autism,
attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD), low, medium to high-risk of offending, with and/or without a history of
arrest and/or incarceration. Participants may be low- to middle income,
employed or non-employed, housed or without housing. This is not a research
program, but the program will question whether there is a relationship between
traumatic experiences, gun violence and recidivism, and whether video gaming
may reduce gun violence and recidivism. The services are also available to victims
of gun violence and crime, addressing restorative justice via the trauma-informed
and mentoring curricula. C.L.I.C.K. will service the following
communities/geographic areas plague with gun violence in the 1st, 2nd,
& 7th Congressional Districts of Illinois. The communities/geographic
areas are Austin, North & South Lawndale, East & West Garfield Park,
Humboldt Park, Englewood, West Englewood, Auburn Gresham, Woodlawn, Maywood,
Bellwood, Dolton, Calumet City, and South Holland, Illinois
