The epidemic of youth violence in the United States Virgin Islands is taking a toll on the Territory’s health. It results in emotional and physical injuries, permanent disability, and death. It consumes enormous health care resources and will diminish and ultimately destroy the quality of life for individuals, families, and the entire community. By the criteria of the United States Department of Health, the United States Virgin Islands is a “distressed” community with problems that equals the national average according to recent reports on the homicide rate per capita. There is a need for immediate action on the behalf of survivors of victims of homicide, a traumatized and psychologically impacted community, scattered across the Territory. This population is in need of the specific and targeted intervention provided by Victims United Inc that starts with the death notification and goes far beyond the burial.
Survivors are confronted with tremendous upheaval and pain, which can lead to numerous difficult emotional and physical challenges. For these reasons, we've embarked on the journey to bring hope and healing through support and community enhancement through this most innovative organization.
"The journey is ongoing and laborious, but the Issachar K Tigre Chinnery Foundation-Victims United Inc. Partners for Peace will keep striving to be a beacon of promise, guidance, and care within our community and we can achieve so much more with your help."

Violence affects us all!
Community violence affects millions of people, and their families, schools, and communities every year.
Community violence can cause significant physical injuries and mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Living in a community experiencing violence is also associated with increased risk of developing chronic diseases. Concerns about violence may prevent some people from engaging in healthy behaviors, such as walking, bicycling, using parks and recreational spaces, and accessing healthy food outlets.
Violence scares people out of participating in neighborhood activities, limits business growth and prosperity, strains education, justice, and medical systems; and slows community progress.
