"For the first time in more than half a century, Philadelphia has recorded fewer than 225 homicides in a single year." CFAR's Together Through Trauma program is proud to be part of the network anti-violence programming that has helped make this possible. TTT provides trauma therapy, workshops and trainings in Philadelphia communities most heavily impacted by violence, and looks forward to continuing the process of healing and recovery after so many years of heightened violence.

The drop in homicides to 222 mirrors a national reduction in violence and follows years of sustained declines after Philadelphia’s homicides peaked during the pandemic.

CFAR is starting the year out strong with excellent scores from CBH. While we are so proud of our unique and innovative projects over the past few years, this is a reminder that the reason we are so successful is that our outpatient program is one of the best in Philadelphia. A huge thank you to the CFAR team for approaching the work with such passion, and thank you to our partners and supporters as well. We couldn’t do it without you!

Happy New Year from all of us at Center for Families and Relationships! Now that we’ve wrapped up our highlights for 2025, we’re more inspired than ever going into 2026. With the help of our partners, friends, and supporters, we know we’ll make an even bigger impact this year.

Final day of our top 10 highlights of 2025! Our Together Through Trauma program provides free trauma services in neighborhoods that are the most impacted by violence, and they couldn’t do the work that they do without the amazing partner organizations in those communities. The work with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation over the past two years has been amazing, and the team has been working build and strengthen partnerships with other organizations that serve target populations to expand the programmatic reach.
