Healing Hurt People Chicago

Healing Hurt People Chicago (HHPC) is a hospital-based, youth advocacy program for violence recovery. HHPC services begin in the hospital and include crisis intervention, mental health care, medical advocacy, team support support and patient advocacy. The program also connects participants to supports and a community where they can continue to grow, thrive and break the cycle of violence once they leave the hospital.

HHPC programs and resources for individuals, families and loved ones recovering from trauma also include:

  • Information about trauma and the SELF (Safety, Emotion, Loss, and Future) model
  • Stories of healing
  • Strategies for coping
  • Resources for families
  • Resources for providers
