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.

We also advocate for survivors’ rights in criminal cases, housing, employment, and public benefits. By pairing legal action with support services, we help clients escape abuse and rebuild secure, self-sufficient lives in DC and Montgomery County, MD.
