Survivors of Homicide Support Group Services
The Charleston County Sheriff's
Office Victims' Assistance Program and the National Crime Victims Research and
Treatment Center has organized a program for survivors of homicide to give and
receive support in a safe and confidential setting. Two support groups and one
psycho educational group are offered. Groups are structured to help each survivor
gain a better understanding of loss and grief, and to help promote change and
growth in their lives. In addition, assistance with transportation to
crime-related appointments, completing SOVA applications, and crisis
intervention are available. Services are free.
To better meet the needs of
survivors we are testing out a trial run of holding support group for survivors
of homicide in different locations in our community. Refreshments will be
provided!
