A safe, healing space providing trauma-informed care for victims of violence, crime, and community harm.
The Lincoln Center also offers services specifically for people affected by crime, funded by VOCA via the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD).
The Heather’s Hope program provides counseling, creative arts therapy, and case management services for children and adults age 5-100+, living in Montgomery County, who have been affected by crime in the past or present, whether the crime went reported or unreported. These confidential services are facilitated by clinical and case management staff with extensive healing centered training.
Our services are uniquely mobile, whether that is in someone’s home, a different confidential community location, or Lincoln Center offices. Transportation related to accessing services can be provided. Clinical staff and volunteers lead support groups within specific communities and also provide information on victim’s rights, victim compensation, and the criminal justice system in general.
TLC staff can assist with filing compensation claims.
Informative presentations are conducted by staff in the community to help persons self-identify and/or to help professionals identify those who they serve. Eligible clients include Montgomery County residents that have in the past or are currently experiencing:
- Abuse (physical, emotional, sexual)
- Domestic violence
- Harassment / Stalking
- Fraud / Identity Theft / Scamming
- Robbery / Home Invasion / Assault
- Vehicular crime (DUI/Hit & Run)
- Mass Violence (International & Domestic)
- Neglect
Art Therapy
Our mobile art therapy program is free and available to Montgomery County residents who have been victims of crime. Licensed art therapists travel to homes, confidential locations, or TLC offices. This creative, non-verbal form of counseling supports healing and recovery, especially for those who may not respond to traditional talk therapy. Using self-expression, clients can explore emotions, build insight, and process trauma through neurodevelopmental and mind-body techniques.
The program serves individuals and families affected by emotional distress related to crimes such as abuse, domestic violence, harassment, assault, fraud, or identity theft. All therapists hold a master’s in art therapy, are board-certified, and trained in healing-centered practices.
