Purchase your brick today!This event celebrates over three decades of extraordinary progress made on behalf of millions of victims since the passage of the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA).
This commemorative week has been set aside since 1981 to honor crime victims and the first responders, advocates, counselors, and others who assist them in their time of need, as well as the law enforcement personnel who work to bring offenders to justice.
We envision the day when all victims are strengthened by the response they receive, organizations are resilient in response to challenges, and communities are able to seek collective justice and healing.
Services for Primary and Secondary Victims
Victim Outreach Incorporated offers comprehensive support services to victims of crime and/or trauma. Primary clients include those who have been impacted by criminal acts or non-crime related traumatic events such as suicide, SIDS death, fatal car accident or natural disaster.
Services are also provided to secondary victims - family members or witnesses who were seriously impacted by the trauma.
