Victims Assistance

Victims Assistance in Port Chester, NY, is dedicated to providing free, comprehensive support to victims of crime and their families. With a focus on compassionate care, our organization offers a 24-hour emergency hotline, crisis intervention, and specialized counseling services, including trauma therapies. We prioritize safety and wellbeing through safety planning, support groups, and accompaniment to hospital emergency rooms for critical care and SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) forensic exams. Our advocates guide individuals through every step of the criminal justice process—from the initial police report to the Victim Impact Statement and VINE registration, ensuring that no one navigates this journey alone. Additionally, we assist victims in obtaining protective orders, accessing shelter, and conducting home visits for vulnerable elders, along with providing vital prevention education presentations to empower our community.
