Supporting Victims
MONSE’s Victim Services team helps people who have been hurt by violence or abuse. We make sure they get the support and care they need to feel safe and begin to heal. Our team works with others to provide different kinds of help, both right away and over time. We focus on kindness, healing, and working together to help stop violence and keep communities safe.
For the first time, Baltimore City is offering services to people hurt by gun violence. MONSE also uses a wider meaning of the word “victim.” We know that violence can hurt more than just the person directly involved. It can also affect people who saw it happen, as well as friends and family. That’s why we offer support to everyone touched by violence.
What does the Victim Services Team do?
Our team helps connect people and families across the city to support services after they’ve been through something scary or stressful. These hard experiences can lead to health or other problems later in life. Our programs include:
Staff at the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE) are here to help. Residents are urged to email MONSE.VictimSupport@baltimorecity.gov or call/text the MONSE Neighborhood Response Line at (410) 929-5488 if they are in need of assistance or wish to learn more about resources available.
