Victim Service Workers
Victim service workers are trained to help deal with the impact of being a victim of crime.
To get information, support and a referral to a victim service worker, call VictimLink BC.
Victims and witnesses can call VictimLink whether or not they have reported the crime to police.
A victim service worker can provide support services such as:
- helping victims talk to police;
- providing information about the criminal justice system;
- providing court support, including going to court with victims;
- helping complete a Crime Victim Assistance Program application to apply for benefits;
- helping to understand and prepare a Victim Impact Statement and an emergency safety plan; and
- talking about the experience and helping people deal with emotions arising from being a victim of crime.
To speak with a victim service worker and learn more about how they can help, please call VictimLink BC.
