Survivors Of Homicide

Support Group Services

The Charleston County Sheriff's Office Victims' Assistance Program and the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center has organized a program for survivors of homicide to give and receive support in a safe and confidential setting. Two support groups and one psycho educational group are offered. Groups are structured to help each survivor gain a better understanding of loss and grief, and to help promote change and growth in their lives. In addition, assistance with transportation to crime-related appointments, completing SOVA applications, and crisis intervention are available. Services are free.

To better meet the needs of survivors we are testing out a trial run of holding support group for survivors of homicide in different locations in our community. Refreshments will be provided!

1st and 3rd Thursday of the month (from 1:00pm - 2:00pm):
