Our Mission
Our mission is to lessen the trauma to victims of sexual assault, child abuse/neglect, and other crime and their families and to improve the response of the criminal justice system by uniting the efforts of public agencies and enlisting support from the community. By providing a safe haven for these victims of crime, our goals are to advocate for their rights and specific needs and create an environment where violence is no longer tolerated.
