Victim Assistance Services

Few events in a person’s life are more traumatic than being the victim of a crime. The immediate hardship caused by crime - injury, loss of cash and property, fear for your safety - are often followed by feelings of despair and hopelessness. If you live in Summit County and are the victim of a crime, Victim Assistance Program can help you.

We offer emotional support and practical assistance immediately after the crime has occurred and for the long-term. For additional information on any of the programs that we offer, call us at 330.376.0040, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (Including all holidays).

Our Crisis Line is staffed by experienced professional advocates that provide crisis counseling, safety planning, assistance with finding shelter, referrals to additional assistance programs, advocacy with the police, and other crucial services.
