The Office of Justice Programs of Minnesota is trying to get the word out to those who may be still feeling the effects of the Annunciation shooting.
"Everybody's trauma and healing journey is gonna look a little bit different," says Deputy Director of the program, Rebecca Rabb.
She says children often have delayed reaction to trauma.
"Children in the immediate may not show any initial signs of the, you know, anxiety or anything like that, but maybe long term they do," says Rabb.
She says they want people to sign up for the reimbursement program, which could prove valuable in the future.
"Even if right now you're not seeing anything in your child that would exhibit some concerns, maybe in five years you do," Rabb adds. "Your case never closed with the reimbursement program."
She says you can go back and get counseling services for your child to help navigate the reimbursement program. It is available to anyone who has been a victim of violence, adding they just need a police report to apply.
The tragic shooting during a Catholic mass in Annunciation Church in Minneapolis claimed the life of two children and injured many more.
Teams have reached out to offer support through its crime victims reimbursement program and the funds help to pay for things like medical expenses and lost wages - and of course, healing.
The Office of Justice Programs are part of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. They offer resources to reduce crime, improve the functioning of the criminal justice system and assist crime victims.
The Minnesota Crime Victims Reimbursement Board provides financial assistance to victims of violent crime and their families. The program reimburses victims and their families for out-of-pocket losses that were a direct result of a crime.
