ADVANCING TRAUMA INFORMED APPROACHES TO GUN VIOLENCE THROUGH INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT, COMMUNITY COLLABORATION, AND ADVOCACY.

Our Approach

FCI provides victim services, case management, and counseling that is needed by survivors of  gun violence and their families after the survivor is discharged from the hospital.

 

We understand the developing needs of gunshot violence survivors in our community and are committed to helping them. FCI services directly and indirectly impacted survivors beginning anytime within the 2-year window of being  harmed. FCI will service those clients for one year after their intake date, with weekly check-ins for the first month and then monthly for the remainder of the year.
