First Step Victim Services has been providing services to crime victims for over 25 years.
This October, join us for our “In Her Shoes” Simulation event in both counties. “In Her Shoes” is a powerful, hands-on learning tool that brings awareness to the realities of domestic violence. Participants actively engage in scenarios that encourage them to think, move, and experience the complex situations faced by those living with abuse. Pre-registration is required for both events.
