Who We Are

Victim Intervention Program staff is comprised of dedicated New York State licensed social workers who share a commitment to providing free, confidential, and high-quality clinical and advocacy services to victims of crime. The Victim Intervention Program’s clinicians have a wide range of expertise in the treatment of trauma, from intimate partner violence and family violence to sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse.

Also, the Victim Intervention Program recruits and trains volunteer advocates who are on-call seven days a week, 365 days per year to provide support and advocacy to survivors of sexual assault, family, and intimate partner violence in the Emergency Department of New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell.
