for the year ahead.

• Keeps everyone well informed of what is happening at a Local,

Regional and Provincial level within the HSJCC Network.

• Annual reports illustrate the actual outputs and outcomes from

the previous fiscal year.

• Reporting ensures there is accountability across the network.
• Great way to highlight the accomplishments of HSJCCs and

celebrate the impact of our work across the network.

Sur Survivors of

Violence and and Mental Hea ealth

• Family members and friends of victims of homicide violence face unique

mental, physical, and spiritual health challenges

• Research has historically focused on perpetrators and victims of homicide

violence, leaving policy makers with little data to develop culturally responsive and evidence-based interventions

• Project aims to enhance awareness of the needs of this population, identify

existing services, profile promising practices and determine where culturally relevant responses are needed

• Project advisory committee asked Provincial HSJCC to participate given our

broad membership and expertise within the network

• Survey for service providers is live!
