National Crime Victims Week (4/6 – 4/12)

The Tennessee Department of Treasury is participating in National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 6^th through 12th, to raise awareness of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Program, a resource to financially assist victims of crime.

The program provides funds of last resort to victims who have suffered personal injuries related to a crime, such as medical bills, lost wages, loss of support to financial dependents, mental health counseling, and more.

Nonprofits, churches, shelters and other victim assistance programs in Tennessee are encouraged to take the on-demand Criminal Injuries training available the website, Treasury.tn.gov.

The theme for the 2025 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, “KINSHIP: Connecting & Healing,” recognizes that shared humanity drives vital connections to services, rights, and healing. Kinship is where victim advocacy begins, as shared humanity is at the center of supporting survivors and victims of crime.
