Trauma recovery centers provide critical support for underserved victims of crime and help stop cycles of violence in our communities. They should be a pillar in our public safety infrastructure.

Proud to cut the ribbon on the new TRC at JCCGCI with my New York City Council colleagues!

Thank you Senator! Looking forward to being neighbors with your Coney Island team 😄!

At today’s Trauma Recovery Center grand opening, our TRC Director Dr. Dulande Louis presented a plaque to Adrienne Adams, expressing our gratitude for her support and advocacy for trauma recovery centers.

To expand this care, the Council is calling for $7.2 million in the city budget to sustain the centers and open additional TRCs in Queens and Staten Island.

A new trauma recovery center has opened in Coney Island!

TRCs reach survivors of violent crimes—who are underserved by traditional victim services but most affected by violence—by providing comprehensive services with multi-disciplinary staff that focus on their healing.

The Council has invested nearly $5 million to create NY State’s first Trauma Recovery Centers in Brooklyn and the Bronx to provide critical recovery support for victims.

This morning, Adrienne Adams and Council Members cut the ribbon on Coney Island’s new TRC, run by JCCGCI.

JCCGCI’s Trauma Recovery Center is now open!

We are tremendously grateful to Adrienne Adams, Mayor Eric Adams, Justin Brannan, Council Member Farah N. Louis, Mercedes Narcisse, and our community partners for helping us cut the ribbon on our new facility!

Thank you Mayor Adams for joining our distribution today!

It was our tremendous honor to welcome you to our Trauma Recovery Center today! Thank you for helping us cut the ribbon, and for all of your support!

Cycles of violence continue when trauma goes unchecked and victims lack the services and support they need to heal. That's why New York City Council has invested in proven solutions to enhance public safety holistically and produce long-term results like the JCCGCI Trauma Recovery Center!

Welcome to the neighborhood, JCCGCI Trauma Recovery Center! Congratulations on your Grand Opening! Excited to see Dr. Louis and her team make a difference in our community with their invaluable resources. Here's to healing and growth together!

Always happy to join JCCGCI Met Council during their Passover food distributions! Glad that through these efforts, hundreds of Southern Brooklyn families will have home-cooked meals to enjoy during the holiday.

It's always a good day to #GetStuffDone AND give back to New Yorkers in need.

Today Mayor Eric Adams and our team joined the JCCGCI to hand out food to Brooklyn families ahead of Passover.

We hope all our Jewish New Yorkers have a safe and happy holiday with their loved ones.

Thank you Mayor Eric Adams for joining our grand opening ceremony today, and for helping us cut the ribbon on our new Trauma Recovery Center! We are incredibly grateful for your support!

Trauma recovery centers like the one we just opened in Coney Island are an innovative model of crime victim services for underserved communities that experience the highest levels of violence.

Proud to join my partner in government, Adrienne Adams, and the JCCGCI to open…

Much thanks to all of our incredible volunteers today who supported Day 1 of our Met Council Passover distribution to Brooklyn families!
