Homicide Survivors: Needs, Strategies, Concerns, and Advocacy
In the world of domestic violence, domestic violence homicides are what grab the most media attention. Homicide Survivors are an underserved population of survivors, mainly because many do not know how to help them. The legal system surrounding homicides, especially domestic violence homicides is frightening for the surviving family members. In this presentation Brandon will guide learners through many of the needs that homicide survivors face and ways to help them become victors over those who have killed their loved one.
This presentation uses real life experiences from homicide survivors, statutes and case law to show the best practices on helping surviving family members.
