Violence Intervention Program
Since 1984, the Violence Intervention Program (VIP) has been the leader in building transformative programs that raise the standard of care for all children and families in Los Angeles County. Charged with the mission of protecting and advancing the welfare of victims of child abuse, neglect, sexual assault, and family violence, we seek to significantly better their lives through comprehensive medical, mental health, and supportive programs that promote not only healing, but also self-confidence and personal empowerment. Today, VIP serves as the largest Hub for the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of child abuse cases in Los Angeles County; our programs impact over 25,000 victims of physical and sexual abuse and family violence each year.
