Resources
Survivor Justice Center seeks to support survivors at risk of firearm violence with restraining orders through our Legal Care Line. Our team is available to provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive legal screening and triage to connect survivors directly to legal services. Below are resources that can further support survivors’ needs.
