Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office to Offer Grief Counseling
When families of homicide victims and other death cases show up to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office to identify the remains of loved ones, they will soon have access to on-the-spot grief counseling thanks to a collaboration between the County and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) who will provide second-year graduate students from UIC’s Jane Addams College of Social Work to provide the service.
