My sincere belief is that if one has never been a victim of a crime, that person will never know the importance of SCVAN.  My mother was a victim of homicide fifteen years ago.  SCVAN was unknown to me, but I soon discovered this staff to be an invaluable source of support, an information resource, and a voice to intervene when a lone victim may NOT be heard.

--- Quote from a homicide survivor ---

I cannot thank you enough for your compassionate and professional assistance.  The sudden crisis that hit our daughter was a barrage from so many angles.  You truly helped us deal with some of this – and we feel that we know where to call if we need further direction.
