Specialized Police & Court Support

If you have experienced sexual violence, our Specialized Police & Court Support program is here to help you understand and get through the court and police process. Our trained workers know about sexual violence and the justice system. They will support you no matter where you are in your journey. This helps especially if you have faced many challenges.

You can join the program anytime—right after something happens or even years later. You can ask for help yourself, or be referred by police, hospital, or other services.

Here’s how we help:

• We give clear and honest information about what to expect from police and court.
• We help you understand your choices so you can make the right decision for you.
• We explain things in simple words so you don’t feel confused.
• We help you feel safe and teach ways to handle your feelings.
• We can go with you when you talk to police or go to court.
• We help you fill out important forms.
• We keep you updated about your case.
• We speak up for you when you need help with police or court.
• We work with other groups to make sure you get all the support you need.

The court process can take a long time and be hard. We stay by your side, so you don’t feel alone. We want you to feel strong, safe, and supported every step of the way.
