PROGRAM FOR AID TO VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT (PAVSA)

Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault (PAVSA) is a non-profit sexual violence crisis center in southern Saint Louis County that provides free and confidential services to victim-survivors, their family, and friends ages 13 and up.
 
Our services are available whether the violence happened yesterday or years ago. We ensure that everyone, regardless of gender identity, language, ability, race, ethnicity, income, age, immigration status, or religion is given the support to heal from the trauma of sexual violence and help stop the cycle of violence.
