Description:
The Supporting Families and Caregivers after Gun Violence project will develop and pilot a family and caregiver support group for Black victims and survivors of crime impacted by gun violence, through a collaborative, trauma-infirmed, and culturally grounded approach. Co-created by the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) AMANI Mental Health & Substance Use Program staff, Wanasah and Black Creek Community Health Centre (BCCHC), the project pairs the grounded knowledge of community with the resource capacity of a large mental health organization with expertise in developing, delivering, and evaluating mental health services for Black youth and families. The project will also increase the capacity of service providers to provide trauma informed grief supports through incorporating training into module development and pairing social workers with community staff in group development and delivery, allowing for bidirectional sharing of knowledge and expertise.
