Rural Resources Victim Services

We serve victims of abuse & crime in Stevens (956 S Main, Colville), Ferry (3328 Hall Creek Rd, Inchelium or by appointment), and Lincoln (by appointment) Counties in Northeastern WA. The primary injuries victims suffer can be grouped into three different categories: physical, financial and emotional. When victims do not receive the appropriate support and intervention in the aftermath of the crime, they may suffer “secondary” effects. But you will find that victim advocates can offer you information, support, and access to helpful services you might not know about. Victim advocates are professionals trained to support victims of crime. Advocates answer our Help Line and provide in-person emotional support. Advocates offer victims information, emotional support, and help finding resources and filling out paperwork. Advocates may also contact organizations, such as criminal justice or social service agencies, to get help or information for victims. Advocates go to court with victims. We serve victims of all crime types
