What is Crime Victim Assistance Program counselling?
Crime Victim Assistance Program counselling is a therapeutic process for individuals affected by crime in British Columbia, funded in whole or in part through the province's Crime Victim Assistance Program. A Registered Clinical Counsellor applies trauma-focused modalities such as EMDR and Trauma-Focused CBT to address the psychological impact of the crime.
How long does a CVAP counselling session last?
A CVAP counselling session typically lasts 50 to 60 minutes. This duration allows time for check-in, trauma-focused therapeutic work, and closing reflection within a single appointment, whether delivered in person or by video.
What does CVAP counselling address?
CVAP counselling addresses post-crime traumatic stress, hypervigilance, avoidance behaviour, intrusive memories, and difficulty trusting others following a crime. Sessions target both the psychological trauma and the practical safety concerns a crime produces.
