Community Healing Resource Centers (CHRC)

Development of Community Healing Resource Centers (CHRCs) pilot which will operate as trauma recovery centers that are community-based and built to offer level support individualized to the needs of the trauma survivor. The CHRCs will provide three tiers of support through a multidisciplinary support team skilled in such disciplines as community outreach and resource connection, mental/ trauma health, and spiritual healing. Create fifteen CHRCs (six in Chicago community areas and nine located around Greater Illinois) that will support communities that most experience gun violence by providing trauma support to survivors that often would have gone without the necessary individualized resources to heal. This individualized wraparound support systems include victim advocacy, mental health, somatic activities (inclusive of yoga, creative arts, disciplined self-defense activities), resource referrals and linkages, and mental health support. Resource linkage partnerships will exist in such areas as legal assistance, education, faith-based institutions, and mental health. Using a healing model like the one used in San Francisco, https://www.traumarecoverycentermodel.org/about-trauma-recovery-centers/ ICJIA is prepared to implement this pilot with the following understanding: • Survivors do not seek help for many reasons, including cultural beliefs, lack of awareness of services, fear of further experienced trauma from providers due to lack of cultural awareness/understanding, and past negative interactions with formal criminal justice institutions. • Community credible messengers are effective communicators in terms of reaching residents and educating them on issues that are of significant impact and local resources/ supports. • Strengthening the capacity of providers located within communities of the survivor increases the likelihood of them engaging in services and being provided intentional support to heal.

Section 78. The amount of $2,000,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority for grants and administrative expenses related to trauma recovery centers.

CHRCs will specifically address the psychological and tangible needs of trauma survivors utilizing effective and trauma informed outreach and support methods but also community engagement strategies to educate residents on existing supports within their neighborhoods but also linking them to needed basic resources identified as a need. The hopeful impact is to (1) significantly fill a gap in outreach and support to trauma survivors, (2) decrease community violence by way of identifying individuals most likely to be impacted by violence and supporting unaddressed needs that would deem them high risk, (3) increase residents’ knowledge of trauma and methods to healing and self-care
