Our services are survivor-shaped, trauma-informed, family-centered and delivered primarily in survivors’ homes. Chicago Survivors provides comprehensive citywide crime victims services to the immediate family of Chicago homicide victims. Chicago Survivors services include: Crisis Intervention, Family Supportive Services (Case Management, Supportive Counseling, Advocacy and Referral Services), Youth Supportive Services (including therapeutic interventions), Criminal Justice Advocacy, and continued supportive services through its Community of Survivors. Chicago Survivors provides training in crime victim rights, experiences and services to the Chicago Police Department, Cook County States Attorney's Office and Medical Examiner’s Office, hospital and trauma center medical professionals and security staff, among others, to promote trauma-informed effective communication with families after homicide We are uniquely survivor-informed, family-centered, field-based, and victim-rights oriented. Since 2014, we have garnered federal, State and City funding, and are recognized at all these levels for our work. This funding has enabled the organization to hire staff, build the service system, establish working relationships, and train law enforcement, medical examiner and hospital staff to respond to victim families with greater compassion and effectiveness.
