The Silver Lining: She may be gone, but her name will go on to save lives.
Support. Advocacy. System Reform.
Silver Lining of Hope, Inc. is a survivor-led nonprofit organization offering free services and support to agencies, professionals, and families working to prevent domestic violence, seek justice, and improve trauma-informed response systems. Whether you’re a detective, prosecutor, survivor, or a loved one searching for answers—our team is here to help.
We also support families of missing and murdered persons by helping them navigate complex systems, organize evidence, and advocate for justice in cases that are too often ignored or mishandled. We believe every life deserves to be heard, and no family should have to fight alone.
Our national network of dedicated volunteers spans the medical, forensic, legal, and advocacy fields—allowing us to bridge communication gaps, promote evidence-based practices, and elevate survivor voices with clarity, compassion, and credibility.

How Can We Help?
To enhance protocols, expand education, prevent missed red flags, and ensure that perpetrators are held accountable—because what we don't know will continue to harm and kill victims, leaving abusers free to do it again.
Law Enforcement
• Review current policies/protocols to determine how they can be enhanced. • Identify gaps in documentation or response • Refer your agency to trusted national training organizations • Help identify missed forensic and behavioral indicators of abuse, control, or strangulation in both active and cold case investigations. • Organize case files in a clear, searchable format to ensure that critical information can be easily located, referenced, and presented when needed. and so much more!
• Translate complex medical and legal findings into plain language that families can understand. • Identify overlooked evidence or inconsistencies across hospital records, EMS reports, imaging scans, and autopsy findings. • Assist in writing victim impact statements or preparing for difficult conversations with law enforcement or prosecutors. • Conduct research into related medical studies, forensic red flags, and legal standards. • Serve as a trauma-informed liaison between families and officials to ensure cases aren’t ignored or misinterpreted. and so much more!
To bridge gaps, uncover overlooked details, and empower families with knowledge—because without loved ones advocating, too many cases would go unsolved, victims forgotten, justice delayed, and cases left cold.
Families & Loved Ones
