Counseling

Counseling

Supportive counselors reinforce the benefits of crisis intervention by providing victims and significant others with emotional support, helping them understand their feelings and allowing the victim to share specific fears and anxieties associated with the crime.

Counselors help victims develop appropriate coping skills, provide a support system and can direct victims to other services they may need. They also teach victims about the dynamics of violence and work to help reduce the traumatic effects of the crime.

Counseling is available regardless of when the crime occurred or whether it was reported to law enforcement. Services are for children, adults, males and females. This includes children who have been abused or who have witnessed the abuse of others.
