Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) Counselling in
Vancouver and Burnaby, British Columbia

The Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) is a support and expense benefit that is administered by the Community Safety and Crime Prevention Branch of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.

CVAP provides counselling services and other benefits to victims, immediate family members of victims and certain witnesses who are coping with the effects of violent crime. Having access to a victim-centered counsellor can support your unique journey towards rebuilding your life, feeling more stable and re-defining what it means to live as a survivor of crime. 

With a strong academic foundation in Victimology, years of research, and my own personal experiences, this work holds deep significance for me. I believe that victims and survivors deserve prompt services that are effective and support them with healthy coping to return to their ideal way of living. Centering my practice around victims and survivors of crime is driven by a genuine commitment to both understanding and supporting those who are suffering.

Both online and in-person counselling options provide you with the flexibility to book the session that is rights for you, while accessing victim-centered, empowering counselling that will support you to manage your symptoms better and feel more like yourself.
