VSC provides around the clock support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Through our Sexual Assault Helpline, you will be in immediate contact with a Sexual Assault Counselor who can provide crisis intervention, service options, and information on sexual assault.

VSC’s crisis counselors provide crisis intervention following a traumatic event and provide a safe space in which a survivor is able to talk through their situation. Other crisis intervention services provided include assessing and planning a survivor’s safety, providing survivor with information, and assisting the survivors in beginning the process of identifying options/resources and considering possible actions.

VSC’s advocates are available to assist with individualized advocacy services such as assistance in making informed decisions about care, information and assistance with Victim Compensation Program application, and on-going case management to ensure continuity of services.

VSC is available to assist survivors by providing appropriate information and referral, and phone numbers of other appropriate service providers based on the information provided by the survivor about their situation.

Accompaniment and emotional support can be provided by an advocate for events such as court hearings, forensic exams, interviews, trial and sentencing, and other necessary appointments or services.
