About

A Safer London and UCL Collaboration to develop better bereavement support for those affected by murder.

In 2021, there were 30 teenage homicide victims in London alone. The impact of these losses on family, friends, neighbourhoods and communities are long-lasting and profoundly traumatic – and those affected have reported that the existing model of bereavement care they receive too often fails to meet the needs of parents, siblings, friends and wider family and community members. 

This project was initiated by a mother, Karen Green Stewart, whose son Lamar Stewart was murdered in 2017. Together with Safer London and Karen Green Stewart, UCL worked, using qualitative research methods, with individuals bereaved due to youth violence-related murder to find out more about existing forms of support. As well as to learn from them in order to develop a better model for providing the complex and much-needed help families and communities deserve. This webinar will discuss the main findings of this research.
