The monthly case management sessions will occur in the community. The Clinical Social Worker will receive training in the MI-informed Case Management approach and will receive supervision from investigators of the study. The Clinical Social Worker will work closely with the Violence Prevention team from the City of New Orleans and the staff of the Trauma Recovery Clinic at UMC, as well as other medical and nursing staff.
