Support Services
* Our Center for Homicide Bereavement, part of our Victims of Violence program, has responded to the devastating impact of attempted and successful homicide for over 15 years. The majority of these have been the result of gun violence. It is a grant-funded free service that is a recognized sensitive response to individual, family and community needs.
Advocacy, Action and Events
Association of American Medical Colleges: Doctors Petition Congress to Fund Research on Gun Violence
Association of American Universities: Congress Must End the Ban on Gun Violence
* CHA is home to a provider-led Social Justice Coalition that will be participating in the March for Our Lives. Institutionally, we are working to help coordinate a public health response including education/support in schools. At this time, I am not aware of plans to send a community letter, but that could certainly change.
