No one should have to navigate the impact of violence alone.

Through the OPS’ Office of the Victim Advocate (OVA), the Division of Safe Neighborhoods (DSN), and other community-based initiatives, OPS supports efforts to help individuals and families heal, prevent violence, and build safer communities.

Residents can learn more about available resources at phila.gov.

For victim support, call 215-686-2115.

To find violence prevention services and other community resources, dial 211 or text your ZIP code to 898-211.
