Domestic
Violence
Domestic violence is a crime that occurs when one person in a relationship seeks to gain and maintain control over the other by using physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, or financial abuse. One in four women in the US (and about one in twelve men) will be subjected to domestic violence during her lifetime. There is hope; let us help.

Assault
Sexual assault is a crime of power and control, using sexual activity to dominate and overpower another person. Every two minutes someone is raped. Sexual assault can affect men, women, or children. Sexual assault advocacy and counseling can assist victims in coping with the aftermath of sexual violation.

Homicide
In the US, the loss of a loved one to murder happens to at least sixty families a day. Accepting support from professionals specifically trained in bereavement and working with crime victims offers more than support and comfort. We can help navigate the criminal justice system, cope with the media and learn to face the daily experiences of being a co-victim of homicide.
