How Does the Center Help Victims?
Culturally and linguistically responsive crisis intervention
services are available to all crime victims.
The Denver Center for Crime Victims provides an immediate response
to police requests for emergency services, as well as the victim’s
call for help.
All DCCV services are confidential and provided by bilingual/bicultural
counselors and trained student interns. With the generous support
of our donors, all services are available at no cost and are provided
in the native language of
the client
through
DCCV's
in-house Translation & Interpreting Center.
