Chicago Survivors (CS) offers crime victim and support services to surviving family members of Chicago homicide victims. Our services are free, voluntary and open to all. Our services are survivor-shaped, trauma-informed, family-centered and delivered primarily in survivors’ homes. Our staff includes bilingual Spanish/English speakers, and all staff can access real-time translation services in other languages.

Chicago Survivors also works to reform and enhance systems that families encounter in the aftermath of homicide. Chicago Survivors trains law enforcement officers, prosecutors, Medical Examiner’s Office personnel, hospital staff and others, and advocates for victim-centered and trauma-informed systems change.
