’There are many topics and issues around gun violence that must be addressed. There are few individuals with the depth and understanding, coupled with first-hand experience, who can do so. Rev. Sky Starr, in her second book series, Therapeutic Prescriptions for Fractured Communities, provides practical solutions for victims of gun violence. This must be in the hands of policy makers, community supporters, and all those who care about, and support the victims of gun violence.’ Hon. Dr. Jean Augustine, P.C., C.M., O.Ont., C.B.E.
’On August 23, 2013, I lost my son to gun violence. Rev. Sky and her wonderful organization have never left my side since. I’ve gotten and I’m still receiving extensive support. ’Therapeutic Prescriptions for Fractured Community’ is well needed in our community. I know once people read it they’ll understand the HAVOC gun violence creates, and the extensive work behind the scenes for survivors. Apart from personal sessions, I attend groups and the Annual Remembrance where I see others going through the same, if not similar, situation as myself. You get to see the human side… It’s heartbreaking, and shows how gun violence leaves victims and survivors broken.’ Stephanie, Mom of O’She Doyle’s Whyte
