Project Inspire® is a community-based health and justice partnership program focused on preventing gun violence by providing education, exposure, and mentorship to justice-involved youth. The program aims to keep youth at highest risk out of the hospital and out of the justice system by connecting them to new experiences, relationships, and opportunities.
The five-pillar curriculum includes trauma-informed care and confidence building, educational and professional development, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and mentorship. As of December 2025, the Mobile branch has graduated nine classes, and Project Inspire® is now offered at Ochsner-Rush Hospital (Meridian, MS), University of Nebraska Medical Center (Omaha, NE), and UT Health San Antonio (TX).
HALO (Healing and Life Opportunities) is a hospital-based violence intervention program embedded within USA Health in Mobile, Alabama. Serving clients ages 14 and older, HALO builds a village of support around survivors of gun violence and their families by addressing psychosocial and economic needs. The program works to stop cycles of violence, reduce revictimization and retaliation, improve recovery outcomes, and support healing for individuals, families, and communities.
