VEEP addresses victims of school-related crime such as bullying and teen dating violence, child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault crime. Victims are often living in poor, rural and ethnically diverse under-served communities with little access to support services. VEEP staff assists by training and implementing a research driven model for school staff, law enforcement and United Way partner agencies to avoid further victimization of the clients they serve.
VEEP staff provides training on the dynamics of victimization and strengthening communication for crisis response using national training curricula. Victims are referred by the teen court program and other programs within the Center, as well as partner agencies throughout Robeson County. VEEP offers counseling and advocacy support using Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and expressive arts methods.
