New York- Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Hospital Victim Intervention Program

The Victim Intervention Program provides a range of free and confidential supportive services to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, family violence, and other crimes, as well as to survivors’ support systems. We provide continuity of services, starting from the immediate moments following an incident, through the entire healing process. We help survivors by providing information about their options and resources and supporting them through their decisions.

Victim Intervention Program services are always completely free and confidential, and are offered to individuals ages 12 and older.

Our services include: crisis intervention and short-term counseling, trauma-focused psychotherapy, Emergency Dept. examinations performed by sexual assault forensic specialists (SAFE examiners), Emergency Dept. Advocates who can explain your options and provide emotional support, criminal justice advocacy, and information regarding crime-related financial compensation.
