SURVIVORS OF HOMICIDE VICTIMS AWARENESS MONTH
November 20th to December 20th
IIn collaboration with SHOC-Survivors of Homicide Organized for Change.
This yearly observance of  Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month provides a platform where, as a nation, we can learn how to better assist families who have been brutally impacted by violence and to support  the efforts of survivors to inform our violence prevention, peacemaking and social justice movement.  We need this awareness month because our institutions and our society are uncomfortable dealing with survivors of homicide victims.  We don’t know what to say to them and often we don’t know what to do for them.
