Victims' Assistance Program
Since 1991, CSEA’s Victims Assistance Program has been active in designating victims of child abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence as priority crime populations. The agency has dedicated the program to educate the Southeast Asian community about the legal and emotional consequences of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault in the U.S., and the services available to these victims of crimes. Comprehensive and individualized direct services are available to meet the clients’ immediate needs, guiding them in their transformation in becoming survivors.
