Laura Valdes - Victim Services Program Manager
“Nobody plans to be a victim of crime, but once you are, you enter an unwanted journey of healing. A victim’s healing journey is that of growing from a place of victimization to survival and ultimately to thriving. While a person has had no choice about being victimized, they have a choice about growing through these healing stages. Survivors of crime find themselves in a very lonely space during the processing of criminal trauma. This group provides the ability to make a change in victim rights and issues with others who have also been victimized and have managed to assimilate their “new normal.”
