According USA Today (2024) more than 50 million Americans are distressed by mental illness. The QPR Institute(2022) revealed that there were 49,476 total deaths by suicide, one (1) every eleven (11) minutes. Death by suicide doubled among US college athletes in the last two (2) years. Moreover, death by suicide has risen among People of Color (USA Today, 2023).
Homicide Survivors are the under acknowleged group of at-risk citizens. Alarming statistics portray death by homicide as a public health concern. One (1) homicide impacts 7 to 10 close family members, friends, co-workers and community. (Armor & Johnson, 2016; Mertzger et al, 2015). The normal grieving process has been altered as a result of experiencing the sudden, violent and meaningless death of a loved one (Mastrocinque et al., 2015)
