Although it is difficult to imagine
what victims of violent crime or horrible accidents go through, since
1972 the Victim Assistance Program has been dedicated to assure that no
victim is alone. Their advocacy efforts are ministered on a variety of
levels through:
Pro-active crisis intervention
to stabilize and provide compassionate aid.
Education and advocacy
throughout the criminal justice system.
A collaborative continuum of
care via appropriate referrals to community agencies/resources.
Community
and professional education focused on victim issues, needs and service.
