Government and Community Affairs

Through grants made to local education authorities, the SS/HS initiative provides schools and communities across the United States with the benefit of enhanced school and community-based services in an effort to strengthen healthy child development, thus reducing violent behavior and substance use. School districts submitted comprehensive plans created in partnership with law enforcement offi­cials, local mental health authorities, and often with juvenile justice officials and community-based organizations as well. Johns Hopkins University and Health System have been supporting sponsors of Baltimore City Public Schools’ SS/HS since 1999.
