The Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) provides financial assistance for victims and witnesses of violence, including physical and sexual abuse.
Victim’s Service workers offer assistance in applying for CVAP funding and answer any questions you may have. Even if you’re not sure if you have been a victim of crime, you can call VictimLinkBC at 1-800-563-0808 for assistance.
Application forms are also available from victim service programs or through the Crime Victim Assistance Program.
In most cases, the application must be received within one year from the date the crime took place. You do not have to wait for charges to be laid or for the offender to be convicted before applying.


At Turning Point Therapy, our experienced team of CVAP counsellors provides compassionate support for trauma, anxiety, and related challenges. Choose from online or in-person counselling options.
CVAP funding pays for most of the fees, and the remainder of the fee will be charged to the client. Depending on which therapist you see, the user fee will range from $15 – $35.
