Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP)

Certified to provide counselling to those impacted as a victim of a violent crime.

The Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) provides benefits to victims of violent crime in accordance with the Crime Victim Assistance Act. A victim is a person who is injured physically or psychologically as a result of certain crimes committed in British Columbia, including historical sexual assault. It may also include extra counselling sessions during legal proceedings. Legal proceedings often happen years after a crime and can trigger a trauma response.
