Domestic Violence Homicide Response Plan: A Toolkit for Domestic Violence Programs - Washington Coalition Against Domestic Violence: Every survivor we work with is a potential domestic violence homicide victim. We know this as we work with them, advocating on their behalf and building relationships with them and often their families. Programs deal with the reality of knowing that a homicide could happen at any time, and yet not allowing this overpower their every move. So when this most tragic violation occurs, the trauma felt by everyone involved is profound. This is felt by everyone - no matter the nature of their relationship with the victim. The needs of those closest to the victim, the children, family and friends are of utmost importance. In addition, our programs and communities are deeply impacted. A domestic violence homicide can change our organizations and communities forever. Our objective with this document is to provide a framework for programs and their communities to develop a plan that will provide guidance in responding to a domestic violence homicide, whether the victim had been a client or not.
