SOUTHEAST SASK. — Envision Counselling and Support centre will honour victims and survivors of crime during the week May 14-20.
“Victims and survivors of crime have been through traumatic experiences, but many use their personal resilience to move beyond their victimization and to create positive change,” Envision said in a press release.
The next week is Victims and Survivors of Crime Week in Canada. Victims and Survivors of Crime Week is about raising awareness about issues facing victims and survivors of crime and the services, programs and laws in place to help them and their families.
Throughout Canada, countless dedicated people work with victims and survivors of crime every day. Service providers and criminal justice professionals give information and meaningful support to victims and survivors and their families as they navigate the criminal justice system.
“We are thankful to have received a grant that will allow us to show some extra appreciation for those who provide services and supports to victims and survivors of crime,” says Envision outreach co-ordinator Raven Daer.
“We will be out hand delivering some treats and special certificates on behalf of the Department of Justice Canada.”
Envision Counselling and Support Centre provides therapeutic counselling and support services for victims and survivors of crime. They provide counselling through a number of programs to individuals who have been impacted by crime and/or abuse. The Family Intervention Rapid Support Team (FIRST), specifically, is able to work with families directly in their homes, at their offices or in public spaces.
