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.

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