What People Say
I was, and still am, so thankful for the crisis counseling I received…and not having to carry the financial burden of medical bills and medications that were directly related to my attack. I don't even know how I would have coped emotionally if I had to pay for my emergency room visit and appointments at clinic post assault.
The people at UOVC are excellent. Communication is timely and clear.
I really love how you created a space where people felt safe to be vulnerable. Great job!
