Special Series: Homicide Support

Losing a loved one to homicide is a challenge not many people can relate to.

For the family and friends of murder victims, finding a support system is a vital but difficult part of moving forward.

Right now, Calgary offers no support groups for people in this devastating situation.

Global Calgary’s Nancy Hixt takes a look at the need for such a program, and helps victims find a possible solution.

PART 1

PART 2

WATCH: They have lost family and friends at the hands of someone else. There is no formal support group in Calgary for families of murder victims. But that could soon change, as plans are underway to help.
