Families of Highway Fatalities (FHF)

Name:

Mission Statement:
South Carolina Families of Highway Fatalities is dedicated to providing compassionate resources for families who have lost loved ones in motor vehicle-related collisions. Our goal is to provide Peer Support for grieving families, facilitate forums and opportunities for grieving families to meet; prevent further highway fatalities through public education and information; and to diligently work alongside law enforcement, first responders, the Legislature and other government officials as advocates for highway safety.

About FHF:
The organization was formed by families of fatality victims and SCDPS to provide a centralized way of assisting families after the tragic death of a loved one. We do so by:

• assisting families who have lost loved ones in collisions through Peer Support;
• helping connect grieving families with each other;
• FHF members serve as safety ambassadors in their communities distributing safety materials and information provided and led by SCDPS;
• creating a central web site for grief resources; educating first responders/coroners/funeral directors/law enforcement about issues affecting grieving families;
