It is our sincere hope that the Victim Assistance Coordinator can support your healing. If you are a victim of child sexual abuse by a priest, deacon, or individual representing the Catholic Church, there are several things you can do:

• First contact the appropriate law enforcement agency, which can help determine options for making a report.
• Contact the Department for Children and Families (1-800-922-5330).
• Contact the Diocese of Wichita Victim Assistance Coordinator, who is an individual designated by the Bishop to be responsible for the initial pastoral response and care to victims of child sexual abuse by church personnel.

The Victim Assistance Coordinator is available to help victims/survivors make a formal complaint of child sexual abuse to the diocese. The Victim. Assistance Coordinator is also available to arrange a personal meeting and discuss support for the needs of the abused individual and their families.
