| dc.description | Losing a loved one to homicide can be traumatizing for family and friends, often referred to as survivors. These survivors may need emotional, social, and financial support, as well as guidance through the criminal justice system process. Several organizations have emerged to address survivors' needs. We examined Chicago Survivors, a Chicago-based organization, to learn about program development, obtain feedback from program stakeholders, and identify barriers to program implementation and service delivery. We conducted semi-structured interviews with program staff, partners, and clients and analyzed administrative program data. We found Chicago Survivors was a reliable agency providing valuable emotional and practical support to clients. We also offer suggestions for programmatic improvement. | |
