Trauma Recovery and Community Response Services for Boston Residents Impacted by Community Violence

The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) is the public health department for the City of Boston. BPHC’s mission is to protect, preserve, and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, particularly those most impacted by systemic inequities.

The Office of Violence Prevention leads this effort through the Community Healing Response Network (CHRN). CHRN is a group of community organizations, health centers, and hospitals working together to support people affected by violence. The network provides trauma-informed care that centers healing, dignity, and respect.
