Boston Medical Center has clinicians dedicated to providing individual and family counseling services to survivors of violence and family members who have been impacted by violence. In addition, we have case management and family advocacy services to provide additional support and assistance. All services are non-insurance based and are free to the clients and their families.
These services are offered to children and adults of all ages. Survivors of violence and their families will be offered support while inpatient at the hospital as well as follow-up after discharge. Services include crisis intervention, psycho-education, ongoing counseling, therapeutic support, case management, advocacy, and referrals to community partners.
Family survivors of homicide victims will be offered assistance with burial planning, ongoing support, and counseling.
The Community Violence Response Team can be reached at 617.414.8030.
