Enhancing Safety, Healing, and Wellness

Offering people guidance, resources, and a listening ear.

WHO WE ARE 

Your Resource 

The Iowa Victim Service Call Center is a confidential resource for Iowans impacted by crime or trauma. We support victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, elder abuse, human trafficking, homicide, and other violent crimes. Our services also extend to those dealing with life challenges and difficult situations. Concerned family and friends can also seek guidance in supporting their loved ones.

We can: 

  • Connect people with their local resources like shelters, lawyers, emergency services, and support programs 
  • Be a compassionate listener for those just needing to talk or process what they’ve experienced
  • Help people understand their options to move forward
