The Freeman Family Institute was established to provide support to families undergoing crisis. The Institute was primarily established to help families survive the suicide of a family member. The Institute seeks to face the trauma caused by other types of crisis including the death of a loved one from any cause, especially if, and when, the family is having trouble adjusting. At the Institute it is our goal to provide compassionate service and to help illuminate the path forward from where the family currently is in the healing process. It is our goal to provide support and to provide quiet places to recover, rebuild, and to heal from the scars left as a result of the tragedy.
