About Us
Delaware County Victim Assistance Center
Delaware County Victim Assistance Center is a private non-profit agency founded in 1974. We provide comprehensive direct services to any victim of rape, other sexual assault, and other serious crimes, and to significant persons in the victim's life. In addition, Delaware County Victim Assistance Center provides education programs to schools and community groups, as well as training for allied professionals, such as police, emergency responders, and medical personnel, both to increase community awareness of the impact of crime on victims, and to develop prevention strategies.
