Victim Services

The Victim Services Program has been developed to assist clients with non-clinical issues regarding sexual abuse.  Trained victim services workers will assist clients with criminal justice information and support, safety planning, health and community information, referrals, and emotional/practical support.  Victim service workers will also help explore other resources not covered by the Society’s mandate.  For inquiries and information, please call 604-682-6482 or email victimservices@bc-malesurvivor.com
