Urban TRAUMA Is Real!! Our youth are exposed to sustained poverty, chronic stress and ongoing violence. Don’t our youth deserve better from us?
Philly 4 Life is MEE Productions strength-based youth initiative that provides young people with the skills and resources they need to cope with stress and trauma in Philadelphia. Youth from Philadelphia’s hardest-hit neighborhoods are too often demonized and written off. MEE Productions Inc. is piloting a new intervention that uses a branded and scalable approach that gives youth the behavioral health, emotional regulation and life skills they need to positively cope with the stress and trauma that can put them at risk for being a victim or perpetrator of violence. MEE is hosting a series of Virtual Community Conversations to discuss this innovative, youth/school violence-prevention campaign, Philly 4 Life. If you are “Philly for Life”, then join us in creating a space where this generation of Philly teens can focus on living and thriving, NOT Dying due to community violence.

Organizations and neighborhoods across the city will be joining together in action during Gun Violence Awareness Month.
Finding violence prevention and recovery resources in Philly is easier than ever through United Way’s Violence Prevention Helpline.
One connection to find trauma support, job programs, violence interrupters and more, 24/7/365.
MEE’s decades-long commitment to improving life outcomes in overlooked and underserved communities was featured in a spotlight profile this past weekend on Action News (6abc) in Philadelphia. The piece also pays tribute to some of the brightest minds in Black psychology and African/African American culture, who poured into MEE’s leadership and vision.
MEE thanks 6abc and its Community Photojournalist, Tim Mader, for their Black History Month profile on MEE and the brilliant African-American scientists (now ancestors) who taught us their approaches to “protective factors” as a way to move our communities beyond survival mode.
