Based in Chicago’s Woodlawn community, The Darren B. Easterling Center for Restorative Practices (the Center), is a trauma recovery center, founded on the belief that no one's legacy should ever be defined by their worst mistake. Our mission is to eradicate the individual behaviors we believe to be at the core of gun-violence by offering trauma-centered recovery services to women, children and formerly incarcerated men ages 16-25, who have experienced the effects of violent crime as either a victim or an offender.

We think that those who have been impacted by military duty can prosper at home by reestablishing a sense of self, family, and optimism. Warriors Fund offers comprehensive support services for service members, veterans, and military families, with an emphasis on transition, health and wellbeing, peer participation, and linkages to community resources.
