Why CRI?
In 2008, a group of people came together because they wanted to make a difference. Co-founders Lindy Beauregard and Dr. Kelly Graves developed and expanded the Greensboro CRI into what it is today. CRI shares many of its tenets in the Child Development-Community Policing (CD-CP) program model (Marans, Murphy, &, Berkowitz, 2002), but was uniquely adapted to respond to the needs of the community. The purpose of CRI is to provide community-based, coordinated services delivered within a trauma-informed framework.
Children who have had traumatic experiences may need some help coping with the trauma. Police officers, victim advocates, and community providers work together to help and support your family after an experience of violence or trauma.
