OCVS Victim Services Needs Assessment 2020

In early 2020, OCVS started to work with a consultant to create a Statewide Victim Services Needs Assessment, which is comprised of a survey to victim service providers in Wisconsin, and a series of survivor focus groups.  OCVS is reviewing and evaluating the recommendations and will coordinate with internal and external partners as we move forward.
