CBVS - Community Based Victim Services: Our Community Based Victim Services Worker provides support, justice-related information, referrals to community organizations, and practical assistance to survivors. Services are available to survivors whether or not you choose to report to the police. Providing updates about your case from the RCMP and the court system are available. Understanding your rights and the court system can be confusing, but assistance can be available. Accompaniment to appointments with RCMP, court system, medical services, and court can also be helpful at times. Community-Based Victim Services is a free and confidential service. It is an open referral, which means you can request support or be referred by organizations such as the RCMP, medical staff, a friend, or a transition house support worker. The Ministry of Public Safety & Solicitor General funds this service. Call (250) 627 7166 for more information or email directly via cbvs@nccspr.ca.
PEACE - The Prevention Education Advocacy Counselling Empowerment program offers 8-12 weeks of individualized, psycho-educational counselling for children and youth (aged 3-18) who have witnessed or experienced violence. We empower children and youth to understand the impact of violence, recognize unsafe situations, and develop healthy coping strategies. Children and youth are taught that violence is not their fault, and that they are not alone. Counsellors provides one-on-one psychoeducational counselling; facilitates group counselling sessions with peers; supports parents in understanding the emotional and psychological impact of violence on their child; delivers presentations and activities about violence prevention in schools and the community. Note: PEACE counsellors are not clinicians and cannot diagnose or assess mental health conditions. They focus on providing psychoeducational support and resources. The Ministry of Public Safety & Solicitor General funds this program. Email peace@nccspr.ca for additional information on this program.
