Support Community Gatherings
FSS Support Community monthly meetings are an opportunity for individuals who have been impacted by traffic violence to connect in a structured, supportive environment. Many sessions include guest speakers who help to facilitate a healing modality and provide insight, relevant information, or an experiential activity. We also leave time for discussion and resource sharing. These gatherings are designed to offer support and guidance and to help participants manage the pain and isolation that can occur after trauma and loss. There is also a dedicated monthly gathering for Spanish speakers.
Reunión con Miembros de FSS en Español: Durante esta reunión, nos encontraremos para compartir nuestras experiencias, conectarnos entre nosotros y construir un grupo de apoyo en español. En esta reunión , tendremos la oportunidad de conectar con otros miembros que comparten el mismo idioma y culturas. Juntos, podemos tener una comunidad de habla hispana fuerte y solidaria en FSS. Si conoce a otros miembros que podrían beneficiarse de este grupo, no dude en pasar esta invitación o enviar un correo electrónico a info@familiesforsafestreets.org.

FSS Peer Mentoring
FSS Peer Mentoring provides bereaved family members, or those seriously injured and their caregivers, with a connection to a volunteer peer support mentor. Our FSS mentors are all individuals who have been through similar experiences and are dedicated to helping others survive these life-altering tragedies.
