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. The survey report has been completed, but the focus groups were delayed due to COVID-19. A final report of the Statewide Victim Services Needs Assessment will be completed prior to the end of 2020.
