MADISON, Conn. - PennZone -- Safe Night and Simsi are pleased to announce a new certification for the Proactive Alliance (PA) relationship-based approach offered through Rutgers University. The Proactive Alliance credentialing program sets a standard of excellence for stakeholders trained in PA who demonstrate the practical application of collaborative community problem-solving.

The Proactive Alliance relationship-based approach is an empathy-based, trauma-informed method of community engagement rooted in counseling psychology and social work. It prioritizes multidisciplinary collaboration from the standpoint of prevention and incentivizes enforcement agencies to proactively seek out community stakeholders to build relationships and form problem-solving partnerships. This approach is the foundation for municipal and enforcement agencies to establish and maintain trust with community members, collateral agencies, and community service providers.
