Crime Victim Services' (CVS) mission is to help victims
prevail over the trauma of their victimization by assisting and advocating
for safety, healing, justice, and restitution.
Since 1981, CVS has recognized that crime
is not just breaking the law, but people are broken. CVS advocates
for each victims' interest:
to have safety information and advocacy with offender release information,
sex offender registration, protection orders, emergency shelter,
transitional housing, separate waiting areas at court, emergency
cell phones, etc.
to have emotionally healing
assistance such as crisis counseling, spiritual ministry, speak
on victim impact panels, support groups, victim offender dialogue,
24-hour crisis line, employer and creditor intervention, accompaniment
to court and interviews, advocacy for social services, etc.
to participate in the
justice process by attending hearings, providing input, and receiving
case information; and
to receive money from
offender restitution, from Ohio’s Victim Compensation Program,
and from CVS emergency assistance.
Services are free, and
CVS is a United Way program of Greater Lima and Putnam County, Ohio.
Target Population

in Putnam County and victims of sexual assault in Allen and Putnam
Counties, (toll-free 1-87-STOP-RAPE) and;
