Sexual Violence Center - Minneapolis Office

About 10 years ago, SVC helped with urgent support: a peer counselor met face-to-face several days during the week and listened, provided empathy and support. Feeling gratitude for your support. Thank you.

my sister went to an appointment there and the women had such a mean tone and was just trying to get her out of there as soon as possible, all of this while she was bawling. the appointment was supposed to last 50 minutes and it lasted less than 10 minutes. someone terribly bad happened to her and for them to do that is just absolutely insane and horrible. DO NOT GO HERE. she came back BAWLING.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the SVC for all their kindness, understanding, and support during a very stressful and emotional time in my life. I'm very thankful to everyone for providing me with the help and resources I needed to gain safety from my abuser. I got to work with Michelle and I'm so glad I had someone like her to validate and understand my troubles. I felt so much safer and freer after they helped me. I was able to report my case to the local police as well as fill out paperwork for an Order For Protections with help from a couple different advocates. I am very lucky that both processes have worked out well for me, but I never would've been able to take those first steps without the SVC. If you find yourself in need of their services, do not hesitate! They are professional and kind and helpful to the highest degree. Thank you all for everything. Keep up the great work!
