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.

Exploring the Hidden Burden of Firearm Injuries
Medical and legislative understanding of gun violence is missing a key piece of information: the impact of nonfatal injuries.

HealthCity is Boston Medical Center's online publication that explores the most pressing issues in healthcare. At HealthCity, we believe that healthcare must transform itself to become more equitable, sustainable, and open source.
