Atlanta Victim Assistance, Inc. AVA absorbs the trauma of the City of Atlanta by providing support and advocacy to innocent victims of crime

The Atlanta Victim Assistance program (AVA) www.atlantava.org is a nonprofit organization established in 1984. Since its inception, AVA has been making significant contributions to the health, economic, social and cultural well-being of Atlanta, Georgia. Our mission is to provide support, prevent violence and promote justice for victims of crime and abuse, their families and the metropolitan Atlanta community. AVA absorbs the trauma of our city by providing comprehensive services that help victims of violent crimes, specifically victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, survivors of sexual assault and secondary survivors of human-trafficking living within the City of Atlanta overcome crisis and become survivors as they restore their lives.

As the holidays approach, the absence of a loved one can be especially difficult for families grieving a loss due to homicide.

AVA's Homicide Grief Support Group offers a safe, supportive space to connect with others who understand this unique grief.

Join us this Saturday, Oct. 17 for our final support group of the year, where we'll check in with one another and discuss the challenges families may be facing as the holiday season approaches.

We also invite you to save the date for AVA's Annual Candlelight Vigil on December 4, a special evening of remembrance and reflection.

For information about the support group and how to participate, please see the contact details on the graphic.
