Here for Victims - Here for Our Community
For more than 50 years, Palm Beach County Victim Services & Certified Rape Crisis Center has been helping victims of crime find safety, support, information, and hope during some of life's most difficult moments.
Established in 1975, Victim Services began through a partnership between the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners and the Office of the State Attorney. What started with federal grant funding grew into a permanent commitment by Palm Beach County to ensure that victims of crime have a place to turn for help.
Today, we are proud to serve as Palm Beach County's Certified Rape Crisis Center, providing specialized sexual assault services as well as comprehensive support for victims of domestic violence, homicide, and other violent crimes.
Support When You Need It
Experiencing a crime can be overwhelming. You do not have to figure out what to do next on your own.
Our team provides free, confidential, trauma-informed services designed to meet each person where they are. Whether a crime happened recently or in the past, our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where victims can ask questions, understand their options, receive support, and make the decisions that are right for them.
Services are available throughout Palm Beach County, with 24/7 crisis response and support for victims.
A Team of Support
Victim Services brings together professionals with specialized training and experience in responding to trauma and violent crime. Our advocates, therapists, forensic nurses, supervisors, and community partners work collaboratively to help victims receive the care and support they need.
We also work closely with law enforcement agencies, hospitals, medical providers, prosecutors, domestic violence programs, and other community organizations throughout Palm Beach County.
Although Victim Services works closely with these partners, we are part of the Palm Beach County Department of Public Safety and provide services focused on the needs, rights, safety, and choices of victims.
You Have Choices - We Are Here to Help
There is no single "right" way to respond after experiencing violence or crime. Every person's experience, needs, and circumstances are different.
Our role is to listen, provide information, explain available options, offer support, and help victims decide what is best for them.
You do not have to navigate the aftermath of crime alone.
Palm Beach County Victim Services & Certified Rape Crisis Center is here to provide compassionate, professional, and confidential support when you need it most.
Services are free of charge to victims of crime.
