The Impact of MVIs on Family Survivors of Homicide Victims & Resources to Assist Them

The National Mass Violence Center will host its 15th Virtual National Town Hall, which will allow participants to be able to:

• Describe the scope of homicide traumatic loss and its mental health outcomes, and models of grief that can be complicated by trauma.
• Identify the critical role of funeral directors and morticians in providing support and services to surviving family members, in coordination with hospitals, morgues, and victim/survivor services.
• Describe victim/survivor services that are needed by surviving family members, including sensitive trauma notification.
• Identify effective strategies to “honor the legacy” of those killed in mass violence incidents, in collaboration with and support for family members.

ASL Interpreters will be available.
