Special Initiatives
Mental Health Care for Victims of Crime
In 2018, ASCC received a 2-year grant from the Governor’s Crime Commission to provide accessible mental health care for crime victims who are underinsured or uninsured, including victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. ASCC is grateful to be able to provide this crucial service to the WNC community.
