The organization for people who suffered the murder of
a relative or close friend.
We help each other cope.

Survivors of Homicide, Inc. was
founded in 1983 by a group of families who were trying
to cope with the murder of a family member or someone
else close to them. They met to support each
other, and to share information about the criminal
justice system. As time went on, membership grew and the
mission expanded. We have become outspoken
advocates for all victims of violent crime, for fair
compensation to victims, and for public policy and
understanding that reduces the senseless violence
sweeping our communities. Our organization is
based in Connecticut, but it is open to anyone who needs
our help or shares our goals.
All our services are offered to our members free of
charge. These include support group meetings,
planning and business meetings to further our advocacy
and educational goals, a member newsletter, and personal
advocacy and support throughout the judicial process and
beyond.
Funding for our activities comes from donations from our
members and friends, from a federal Victims of Crime Act
(VOCA) grant, and State of Connecticut funds
administered through the Ct. Office of Victim Services (OVS). |
