My 38 (started on February 28, 1976) year old victims/survivors rights project (224 613) is voluntary and something I have had to pay for in many ways. If you have some time free try researching library web-links and see if they have something that if you were a survivor/victim of crime you would like to see. Also, check Sheriff's Offices web-sites to see if they seem open to survivors/victims by being progressive about fighting crime before it happens like with links to local Victim Assistance Providers.
I know with the Internet and search engines all a survivor/victim has to do to find their local resources is type in some words. It is more about respect for the needs of survivors/victims being shown by the library web-site managers as well as those of Sheriffs' offices.
Check the communities you came from and see if they have links to local resources for survivors/victims??
It is the same kind of idea about why the media often play up hurricane awareness. We all know how to Google "hurricane awareness" but it is so much nicer that the media etc are taking aggressive steps at public awareness about hurricanes. You pray and plan for there not being a hurricane but you might experience one or have loved ones who do.
