The Way Prevention: Services: Victim Programs

Our Victim Programs collaborate with various federal, state, and local agencies to provide comprehensive support to crime victims and their families. Here’s a brief overview of the key programs and how they can benefit you if you are a victim of violent crime, sex trafficking, or abuse:

All Victims Programs

We work with many of the victim assistance programs that provide services to crime victims and their families, including federal, state, and local programs:

FBI Victim Services Division (VSD)

The VSD assists victims of FBI-investigated crimes by helping them navigate the criminal justice process. They offer services such as crisis intervention, emergency travel assistance, and local referrals. If you are a victim of a violent crime, this program can provide immediate support and connect you with necessary resources to help you through the aftermath.

Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Victim Services

This bureau provides free services to victims and witnesses, including crisis intervention, emergency assistance, counseling referrals, and court escort and orientation. If you are a victim of sex trafficking or abuse, you can receive emotional and practical support to help you cope with the trauma and navigate the legal system.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Victim Assistance Program (VAP)

The VAP offers access to local resources for victims of federal crimes such as human trafficking, child exploitation, and white-collar crime. If you are a victim of sex trafficking, this program can connect you with specialized services and resources to ensure your safety and well-being.
