Information
The lack of information is a frustrating and often damaging problem, often expressed by families following a homicide.
The more informed you are, the more prepared you will be for this very traumatic time.
How can AdVIC help?

- Garda

- Dept of Social Affairs,
- Dept of Justice
- Dept of Foreign Affair

AdVIC also produced two information booklets:
