Healing is possible after experiencing violence. If it’s happened to you, we invite you to join a virtual community meeting to find relief and support.

Panelists will talk about resources and programs that can help you get through the mental and emotional trauma of gun and community violence.

You’ll hear from parents with lived experience, community outreach workers who specialize in serving those impacted by gun violence, and program staff from Multnomah County’s Behavioral Health Division and Department of Human Services.

Find culturally-specific resources and care for yourself and your loved ones in your journey to healing.

Register

Free and open to all communities of color. Anyone impacted by gun and community violence is welcome to attend.
