After more than 25 years, they remain the most comprehensive national resource committed to advancing victims' rights and helping victims of crime rebuild their lives.

- Get Help
- Get Involved
- Educational guide about domestic violence and substance abuse
- Recovery.org connects people and their families with the information and resources to help them recover from substance abuse and behavioral disorders. They are a private resource and do not receive funding from any state or government programs, working instead with some of the country’s most respected treatment organizations who support and sponsor their efforts.
- Addiction Resource is an informational content guide serving individuals and their families who struggle with addiction, substance use disorders, and mental health disorders.
- Recent studies have demonstrated that women are more likely to experience some form of assault throughout their life. The most common perpetrators of elder abuse are males that are close to the victim, most often a spouse or family member. Unfortunately, these cases are often underreported. The New York State Elder Abuse Prevalence Study found that only 1 in 24 cases of abuse is reported. At the Nursing Home Abuse Center, our goal is to ensure that our message reaches the people who need to see it the most.
