We have produced a podcast so people can hear our survivor stories. These may help other survivors feel less alone. We hope to spread awareness about murder-suicide to help survivors find our group if they are seeking support. We are creating trainings for first responders and counselors. We are studying murder-suicide, looking for warning signs, and compiling data to help other researchers.
