The SNUG program aims to curb gun violence and save lives by intervening in the aftermath of shootings to prevent retaliation, working with high-risk youth to connect them to services and programs, and other community engagement initiatives. We were joined by three social workers who are part of this NYS program: Erika Mendelsohn, LCSW (Statewide Social Work Director of SNUG Street Outreach); Kristin Geiger, LCSW (SNUG Street Outreach Upstate social work supervisor); and Gbolahan Oyekunle ‘GB’ LMSW (SNUG street outreach social worker).
