TRAUMA RECOVERY CENTER

HERE TO HELP

We are here to provide help and hope for those most vulnerable, the victims of trauma and violent crime. For more information about May Dugan Center's Trauma Recovery Center (TRC) please call 216-631-3886, an intake specialist is available 7 days a week from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.

The Trauma Recovery Center provides immediate and critical assistance to victims of crime. Primary services are immediate crisis management, safety planning, and law enforcement advocacy. Other services include trauma-based education and support services, advocacy and stabilization planning, coordination of care, victim compensation, and long-term stabilization assistance.

To be eligible for TRC services, you must be a victim of crime with a police report.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Our goal is to provide better outcomes for crime victims. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 68% of victims of serious violent crime (e.g. rape, sexual assault, and robbery) experience grave socio-emotional problems including moderate to severe distress, significant problems with work or school, and substantial problems with family and/or friends that presents in the form of arguments and an inability to trust, or not feeling as close after the victimization.

The trauma our clients have experienced affects many aspects of their lives, often disrupting their education, emotional development, sense of security, and increasing their risk of both mental health problems as well as detachment from the community. Many struggle finding and maintaining employment in a safe, healthy environment. With counseling, case management, transportation, and advocate services, we are supporting more complete physical and emotional recovery and complete reintegration into our community.

TRC professionals will provide patients and their effected loved-ones with stabilization support, trauma counseling, and assistance with any other immediate needs to secure their safety, such as emergency housing, transportation, and legal services. An advocate will also help victims apply for victim compensation and will, if needed, arrange for victims to receive more specialized assistance, such as substance abuse treatment, sexual assault or domestic violence services, legal advocacy, or other community supports.
