The Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) offers free counselling services to eligible crime victims within a year of experiencing a crime in BC.  Family members may also qualify. 

​

An exception to this time frame is in the case of sexual abuse or assault which took place in BC, whereby services for sex-crime victims are available throughout the victim’s lifetime.  For example, if they were sexually abused as a child, they may apply as an adult.  In order to qualify for sexual abuse/assault counselling, the client must write a statement about their experience and provide collateral information, but notably it is not necessary to file or have filed a claim against the perpetrator.  If you would like to seek coverage through CVAP, please contact me as I can support you as you apply.  I am registered to offer therapy through this program.
