MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Tennessee Voices For Victims (TVFV) works on behalf of victims of crime in Tennessee. We are a central agency that enables crime victims across the state to network with one another and journey toward healing. If you’ve been the victim of a crime, we can help. Our mission is to engage and empower victims and citizens in the effort to reduce violent crime.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Advocacy Advocacy is a broad category that encompasses many aspects of working with and for victims and accounts for the bulk of our time. Every phone call we take from across the state, every email we respond to from a victim, every committee or special project we are asked to participate on, etc. is an opportunity to provide hope and healing to a victim or help a group of people understand a victim's perspective. It's difficult to place a numerical value on this but it is in this work that we make some of our biggest improvements in helping to make the world better for an individual, their community, and our society. Victim Impact Classes These classes are designed to help incarcerated men and women understand accountability, their impact, and why they make the choices they make. Juvenile Restorative Justice Tennessee Voices for Victims works collaboratively with Raphah Institute on Nashville's Juvenile Restorative Justice program. As the lead agency, Raphah coordinates the restorative justice program; however, Tennessee Voices for Victims has come alongside them, understanding the benefit to both the victim and responsible youth. Unlike a victim offender dialogue, the responsible youth has the opportunity to repair the harm directly to their victim. Unlike the traditional court system, the victim has the opportunity to directly tell the youth the impact their crime had on them. To learn more about this innovative program, please visit Raphah's Giving Matters site. Mass Violence Victim Response TVFV is working with entities across the state to develop the framework for improved response to victims of mass violence events. This improved response will include guidelines for including advocates on-site of the mass violence event as well as more complete follow through after the event. This project will include training advocates to respond at these scenes as well as working with the current first responders on how to best incorporate these service providers on-site.
