Revenge, Retaliation, Retribution. Feelings we have when we have been wronged. They are primal, unstoppable, even biblical. On this episode of MI HEALTHY MIND, we talk with a survivor of gun violence, who realized that retaliation was a cycle that had to be broken, for himself, his kids and his community. Roger Roper now works to help break this cycle with the Washtenaw County Sherrif's Department Community Violence Intervention program "WeLive" to help his community recover and heal from violent crimes. In Addition, Derrick Jackson, Director of the Community Engagement programs in Washtenaw County talks about the "WeLive" program and how peer to peer counselling helps victims of violent crimes and their families move on without retaliation.
