Crime Victims’ Center of Chester County share

The Crime Victims’ Center of Chester County, Inc. provides free and confidential services to victims and their family members/significant others who reside in or were victimized in Chester County, Pennsylvania.  They make the cold and unwelcome world of the court system feel knowable and as effective as possible by practically, and sometimes literally, holding your hand every step of the way.  Additionally, free counseling and even money towards expenses that have resulted from being a victim are also available.

Since I originally wrote this post, I have now had personal experience with this organization and I can’t say enough good things about them.  If you are the victim of a crime, they should be the second place, that you call, after the police/FBI. Even if you are unsure or don’t want to formally report your the crime to the authorities, CVC is there for you, 24-hours/day.

CVC, also known as the Rape Crisis Council of Chester County, Inc., is the designated Sexual Assault Center for Chester County. CVC provides services to victims of all types of crime and violence including, but not limited to: rape, sexual assault, incest, sexual harassment, child abuse, elder abuse, homicide, assault, robbery, identity theft, drunk driving, stalking, and bullying.

Tip: If you don’t live in Chester County, your county will have a crime victims’ center too, but perhaps by a different name.  A quick Google search should be able to help you locate the one in your area.
