Trauma is at the core of a crime victim/survivor’s experience. Impacting that experience in a unique and innovative way is at the core of CTSS programs. CTSS is committed to filling gaps in service for victims and survivors by: expanding the definition of victims to include victims of both reported and unreported crime; providing service regardless of the type of crime; extending the current commitment of “trauma-informed care” to include crime survivors themselves in obtaining education and skills to address the impact of trauma; providing trauma support services that are victim/survivor based rather than offender-focused; offering services without any time restriction related to when the crime was committed; and recognizing family members, community members and service providers who are impacted by supporting and serving victims of crime.
