Victim Assistance and Reporting Abuse
The Office of Victim Assistance & Safe Environment (OVASE) was created to be the initial contact point for those who have experienced clergy abuse. The office provides pastoral care including individual, group, and spiritual counseling to assist in the healing process. The goal of the office is healing.
Besides working with clergy abuse survivors, the office will assist anyone who has been abused.
If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, please contact the office at 210-734-7786 or by email at ovase@archsa.org.
