Our Services
RESPONSE TIME
Victim Services workers are on-call 24/7 365 days to support emergency response personnel, community partners and self-referred individuals for on-scene interventions when possible. We may attend a home, hospital, crime scene or police station for crisis interventions when requested by Police and safe to. All calls are responded to within 20 minutes if the responder is on the line with another caller.
Volunteer Program
In the midst of trauma and tragedy, many individuals feel overwhelmed, alone and scared. By volunteering with our organization, you will be able to assist individuals through emotional and practical support. Our volunteers provide support depending on their availability and comfort levels. Volunteers never attend calls alone and are provided with ongoing training and support.
