Abstract: The purpose of conducting this study is to improve the treatment for individuals seeking grief counseling after losing a loved one to homicide and then figuring out how to implement the critic into future sessions. This study will be conducted amongst individuals involved with the Cincinnati Police Department Victims Advocate Office and how the advocate office can improve their treatment to these adult survivors. These participants will complete a 5 question survey administered over the phone that will result with opinions and critics for the office support group.
