FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
Every Monday, we bring families together across Atlanta for multigenerational conversations that inspire connection and understanding.
These gatherings create a safe and welcoming space for families to discuss meaningful topics, share experiences and learn from one another by fostering open dialogue and strengthening intergenerational bonds. This initiative helps build resilient communities rooted in trust and collaboration.


HEALING CIRCLE
We host healing circles specifically designed for Black individuals to collectively address personal and communal trauma. These gatherings provide a culturally affirming space for participants to share their stories, engage in restorative practices, and heal through solidarity.
By combining mindfulness, storytelling and community support, the circles empower participants to navigate personal and systemic challenges while fostering a renewed sense of resilience and unity.

JUSTICE SYSTEM NAVIGATION
The justice system can be an intimidating and often disheartening experience, particularly for families navigating the aftermath of violent crime. Many families face insurmountable barriers to understanding the intricacies of legal proceedings from the initial investigation to trial and beyond.
Our program offers comprehensive Justice System Navigation to ensure that families are not left to face this journey alone. Our team of experts, including legal advocates, guides families through each step of the process, helping them understand their rights providing emotional support, and ensuring their voices are heard within the often complex and overwhelming justice system. By doing so, we strengthen the ability of families to advocate for justice while offering them the tools they need to protect their rights.
COMPASSION TRAINING
In partnership with Emory University, we provide a comprehensive compassion training program that blends mindfulness, neuroscience, and practical exercises.
This initiative empowers participants to cultivate empathy, emotional intelligence, and resilience in their personal lives.
By fostering a deeper understanding of self and others, the program promotes healthier relationships, enhanced well-being, and a more compassionate approach to life’s challenges.
SOCIAL SERVICES NAVIGATION
Navigating the complex web of social services can be an overwhelming challenge for families already reeling from the trauma of violence. Our program connects families with dedicated case workers who guide them through the maze of available resources, from financial assistance to housing support and mental health services.
These case workers are not only knowledgeable about local resources but are also deeply committed to advocating for families in need.
By equipping families with the tools to access services, we empower them to regain control of their lives, helping them to heal holistically, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
CRIME SCENE CLEAN UP

The trauma of losing a loved one to violence extends far beyond the immediate emotional pain. Often, families are left to face the daunting, and sometimes dangerous task of crime scene cleanup.
This crucial service provides families with the support they need to handle the aftermath of violence without further traumatizing themselves.
By offering professional cleanup services, we help survivors of violence reclaim their space, beginning the long process of emotional and physical recovery.
Our team works with compassion, sensitivity and respect, ensuring that each family is treated with dignity while their homes and lives are restored.
BURIAL SERVICE SUPPORT
Losing a loved one is painful enough, but the financial burden of burial services can add another layer of stress and heartache. The Family Engagement program addresses this by offering support with funeral and burial services, providing families with assistance in organizing memorials and covering associated costs.
In addition to financial aid, we offer emotional support to help families through the grieving process, ensuring that they have access to culturally appropriate ceremonies and rituals that honor their loved ones’ lives. This service brings much needed relief to families, allowing them to focus on healing and remembrance rather than the logistical challenges of loss.
