Peer to Peer Project

In September 2024, SCVAN was awarded a sub-grant through the National Center for Victims of Crime as a pilot program to establish and expand peer-to-peer support for crime survivors.

Are you a victim of crime looking for a peer to peer support group?

Fill out this interest survey and we will let you know if there is a group near you! 

Do you run a peer to peer group and want to partner with us?

Email our Victim Access Coordinator, Michelle Hughes, for more information: michelle@scvan.org.

Peer-To-Peer Resource Directory

We envision a future where no victim of violent crime in South Carolina feels isolated or unsupported. One of the most powerful ways to foster healing is through connection—and that’s exactly what peer-to-peer support offers. This directory is designed to connect survivors with programs across South Carolina that offer compassionate, understanding support from those who’ve walked a similar path. Peer support is rooted in shared experiences, offering a safe space where victims can talk openly, feel truly understood, and find strength in community.
