Georgia Commission on Family Violence

Surviving the Unimaginable 💙

When a parent is killed through domestic violence or a murder-suicide, children are left to navigate grief, trauma, loss, and an uncertain future. How we respond in the aftermath can have a profound impact on their healing journey.

Join us for this powerful partnership training between GCFV and Kate’s Club as we explore best practices for supporting children and families after domestic homicide or murder-suicide.

This session is designed for advocates, counselors, social workers, victim service professionals, educators, and anyone committed to helping children heal after unimaginable loss.
