Get confidential 1-to-1 support from our victim support workers. We are here to listen, answer your questions, and help you understand your options.

We can also make referrals to other services as needed. If you need someone to come with you to other support or legal appointments, we can help. This may include legal meetings, police visits, and community support services.

We can help by:

• Listening to your story
• Providing resources to deal with trauma
• Creating action and safety plans
• Providing information on abuse and crime, legal, housing, healthcare, and mental health options
• Supporting and advocating for you when talking with police or lawyers
• Referring you to other community resources
• Assisting with paperwork, or a Crime Victim Assistance Program application
