Spread the Word
Finding the right support and resources is essential for families and friends coping with homicide loss. We can help connect survivors with local resources tailored to their specific needs. Every county in Iowa has a homicide and violent crimes program to help families navigate the aftermath. These programs ensure survivors’ rights, safety, and healing are given priority and quality care. We can help connect you with your local program, as well as any other resource you may need. Spreading the word can be personally beneficial in many ways:
Advocacy: By advocating for victims’ rights and raising awareness about the prevalence of abuse and crime, you become a voice for change and contribute to creating a safer and more supportive society.
Network Expansion: Engaging with your network allows us to connect with new supporters, volunteers, and donors, expanding our reach and impact.
Education: Through sharing information and resources, you empower others to recognize the signs of abuse, access support services, and become allies in the fight against violence and injustice.
