Waymakers Victim Assistance Programs
Waymakers Victim Assistance Programs provides a full array of services to victims and witnesses of crime in order to mitigate the devastation often left in the aftermath of criminal activity. Waymakers provides support services and emergency assistance to individuals impacted by all types of crime with specialized services for victims of child abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse, gang violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, and surviving family members of homicide victims. Waymakers dedication to quality and innovation have led to Orange County’s reputation for providing one of the most comprehensive programs of victim assistance in the State of California.
The impact of a criminal incident which induces a traumatic response can be pervasive and destructive to individual lives, families, and communities. Such trauma has been correlated to physical and mental illness; learning disabilities; addictions; deviant or aggressive behavior; polarization of belief systems; racial, ethnic and religious intolerance and violence in individuals, in schools and communities. The services provided through this program normalize community members’ sense of vulnerability, fear, loss of trust, and anger while helping to mitigate the negative impact crime has on our community. Victims and witnesses receive the emergency assistance and long term mental health services they need in order to address normal stress reactions, stabilize living situations, and decrease the likelihood of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This also leads to greater cooperation with law enforcement which can ensure a safer community.
