Resources for 5 Year Old Who Witnessed Violent Death

[Guest guest]

Hello,I'm looking for resources for a five year old girl who witnessed the violent death of her grandmother in November. Preferably in Brownsville, but definitely in Brooklyn. The family does not have insurance. I'm looking into Safe Horizon and welcome any suggestions or thoughts. Please email me directly.

Many thanks,Kate Lucas-Falk, LCAT

Was there a criminal act involved? Perhaps the crime victims board would be a resource as wellshariSubject: Resources for 5 Year Old Who Witnessed Violent DeathTo: NYCCAT Date: Monday, February 27, 2012, 1:02 PM

You can call lifenet (I'm not sure the number but you can google it). Lifenet would be able to give you referrals for appropriate services. Sent from my iPhone
