Three programs, one agency, one mission...

The Victims Center responds immediately to survivors of violence. While seventy percent of those served by the program are affected by sexual assault, the agency works with victims of all crimes.

Services provided include a 24-hour Crisis Hotline, sexual assault nurse exams, case management and counseling. Individual, family and group therapy are available. Groups include people who have lost someone to homicide or suicide, women survivors of sexual abuse, teen girls, boys and men.

The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) program is made up of specially trained RNs who are on-call 24/7. They offer compassionate care and support for victims at a moment’s notice. Nurses meet rigorous legal and medical standards required by statute and ethical code.  Their work includes forensic medical collection, medical intervention, health education, follow up referrals and objective legal testimony.

Volunteers carry a cell phone to answer a 24/7 crisis hotline and go to local hospitals to provide compassionate emotional support and advocate for sexual assault survivors.
