The ROAR Center

Organization Description

The ROAR Center helps survivors of all types of crime in Baltimore City, Maryland recover from their trauma and start to rebuild their lives.

Our community-based violence intervention and prevention approach provides an alternative to aggressive policing and incarceration in efforts to reduce violence, increase public safety, and promote well-being.

We also support survivors who choose to engage in the criminal justice system, which is often re-traumatizing and non-responsive to the financial, emotional, and re-stabilizing needs that many survivors experience.

Program Details

Brief Advice Clinic

Program Website: The ROAR Center

Program Description:

If you’ve survived a violent crime, our Brief Advice Clinic offers a time for you to meet with a ROAR staff member about your needs and receive brief advice about legal issues, healthcare, mental health / therapy needs, housing, employment and more.

If your needs are more complex than what we provide at our Brief Advice Clinic, a staff member will determine if you’re eligible for ROAR’s extended services or refer you to a different agency.

This is a walk-in clinic. No appointment is necessary. Brief Advice Clinic is held twice per month at two locations in Baltimore City. You do NOT have to report the crime to police to receive help from ROAR. You can access our services regardless of immigration status.

Please call 410-706-2781 for pre-recorded Brief Advice Clinic schedule and location information.

Se habla español. Interpreters are available to help in other languages. Please ask!
