Adult and child victims of violent crime and child witnesses of violent crime can get psychological and medical often with help with assistance through your local state attorney generals office.

Often they will assist with medical or psychological costs not covered by insurance up to certain maximums, though in Florida in recent years these funds seem limited to particular providers or groups.  Filing of a formal police report and additional paperwork is necessary before expenses can be covered.

Local shelters are also often available to assist women who have been battered. Look in the phone book or simply call your local law enforcement agency for help.
