Some people find it helpful to talk about
what happened and express their feelings in a non-judgmental
setting. We have licensed counselors on staff who are specialized
in assisting families, individuals and children that have
been traumatized by violence. For more information on our
free counseling services, please call (215) 567-6776.
Many victims will need assistance navigating
the criminal justice system, even if an arrest has not been
made. Our advocates are available to assist and support you
throughout the trial. If you are a co-victim of homicide and
need help working with the Police Department or District Attorney's
Office, or have a question about the status of your case,
please call one of our advocates at (215) 686-8033.
There are a range of other resources available
for victims of crime, including Crime Victims' Compensation.
Many victims have immediate needs such as food, shelter, or
home repair. AVP's West/Southwest Victim Services program
can help victims of crime in that community. Please call (215)
748-7780 for help.
