Our Vision

To transform victims' lives and prevent violence in our community.

Our Story

In the past 25 years, we have grown and served all victims of crime, sexual assault, and traumatic circumstances in Central Florida. 

Our dedicated crisis response team provides free, individualized, and confidential services for all victims of crime including sexual assault, mass causalities, domestic violence, terrorism, stalking, kidnapping, home invasion, assault/battery, and other traumatic events.

Our skilled staff operates a 24/7 crisis helpline that primary and secondary victims can call around the clock to receive immediate crisis intervention support. Not only does our team provide help in the moment of crisis, but we also continue to support victims throughout the duration of their healing process including case management, victim compensation, legal advocacy and court accompaniment, information and referrals, and therapy.

Together we can prevent violence in our community.
