HSP's mission is to identify those survivors who are in need of

survivors with their acute grief, but assistance is also provided
regarding the operation of the criminal justice system.

Colbert, DeKalb, Franklin, Marion, Winston and Cullman counties
are eligible for HSP assistance. All services are provided free
of charge.

of homicide and the aftermath of murder, HSP provides training
to professionals in such fields as law enforcement, mental health,
social work, law, criminal justice, community services, medicine,
education, religion and journalism.
