Help for Victims

Are you or someone you know a victim of crime?

 

If so, we can assist you to navigate through the criminal justice system and advocate for your needs as a victim of crime.

Our services are designed to meet your needs as a crime victim and assist you in your journey from victim to survivor. These services include:

Crisis Intervention

When you just need someone to talk to, when you don’t know where to turn, when you feel overwhelmed, we are here to listen and help.

Information and Referral

We can help answer questions you may have and if we can’t, we'll assist you in finding the appropriate service that can.

Advocacy

 We can assist you in the following ways:

  • Completing a Crime Victims Compensation form

  • Providing free printed materials on victim grief and trauma

  • Assisting with funeral or memorial arrangements

  • Intervening with media when requested

  • Providing resources and referrals to meet individual needs

  • Facilitating safety planning

  • Helping navigate through the Criminal Justice process

  • Giving information on the crime victims’ Bill of Rights

Medical Advocacy

We are available to help crime victims with issues pertaining to their medical care and assist with identifying resources.

Support Groups

We offer 10-week closed support groups for homicide survivors.

Currently all services are offered virtually, with limited in-person services depending on the assistance requested and advocate availability.

You do not need to report to law enforcement nor does your immigration status prevent you from obtaining our services.
