The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office Crime Victim Rights Unit hosted the “Kinship, Connecting & Healing” event recently to provide crucial support and resources to crime victims.
The event centered around the importance of having safe shelter and connections available to the victims and families of crime.

Presenters at the event included representatives from the Michigan Attorney General's Address Confidentiality Program (ACP), Family Youth Interventions Rapid Re-Housing Program, Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Stone from Macomb Community Drug Courts Inc., Families Against Narcotics (FAN), and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Prevention Team.
The panel discussed how they help victims through the criminal justice system.
