Bereaved Survivors of Homicide International is a peer driven, professionally facilitated support group for the friends and family members who have had a loved one taken by murder.

OUR GOALS

Help survivors gain control of their lives and once again feel a sense of empowerment.

Help survivors learn how to integrate the murder into one's mental framework.

Supply support in an environment where the survivor is free to express any and all feelings -- to talk, cry, scream, to feel rage, guilt or to just feel.

Help survivors work through the grief process and help its members endure the agonizing process of reconstructing their lives by helping “victims” become “survivors” and gain control of their lives and once again feel a sense of empowerment with a future.

Help survivors to understand the design and purpose of associated systems including law enforcement, criminal justice, and others and learn how to work with them.

OUR SERVICES

Providing comprehensive emotional support and professional counseling. The most evident vehicle for the comprehensive emotional support for family members and loved ones of homicide victims is through the biweekly support groups co-facilitated by both a licensed counselor and a professional victim advocate. Individual and/or family counseling is also offered and used extensively.

Providing companionship at court hearings and trials whenever called upon. We also assist with the completion of victim impact statements.

Educating families and loved ones impacted by homicide, as well as the broader community.

Sponsoring training of professionals and survivors in the latest knowledge and approaches to help victims of violent crime.

Awarding academic scholarships for survivors who are emotionally ready to move forward with their lives to obtain further college education or technical training.
