In tragic circumstances VSN is there – caring, listening, supporting.

Through immediate assistance and a variety of services, VSN lessens the trauma of victims by validating emotions and reactions, assisting the victim in accessing appropriate support services in our community, and helping them regain a sense of personal control in order to return their lives to a desired degree of stability.

VSN provides five services to assist victims of crime and tragedy. We offer on-scene crisis intervention and a bridge to other community services which can provide long term support; timely financial assistance for emergency, funeral and counseling expenses and compensation for certain crimes; safety planning; and free personal alarms for victims of domestic violence, stalking, violent assault, or harassment.
