victim services agencies

Victim services agencies provide support, resources, and assistance to individuals harmed by crime or traumatic events. They help victims understand their rights, access counseling, medical care, legal aid, and protection options. These agencies aim to promote recovery, reduce trauma, and ensure victims feel heard and supported throughout the criminal justice process. They often collaborate with law enforcement and community organizations to address victims’ needs comprehensively, offering emotional support, advocacy, and information to empower victims during difficult times.
