Our Services

Victim Services of Bruce Grey & Owen Sound offers emotional support and practical assistance to those affected by crime or tragic circumstance. Service is free, confidential and available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

At the request of emergency services and upon consent of the individual or family, a team of trained volunteer responders will provide support and information either on scene or over the phone.

Some of the occurrences we respond to on a regular basis include:

We provide a safe and secure environment for those who find themselves in a situation where their normal coping skills are not enough. We allow them to talk freely about their responses and reactions with complete confidentiality. We help people to understand their crisis response and provide options for longer term support if needed.

We provide transportation home from the scene or to a place of safety if required. We can assist with safety planning and accessing other community agencies.

We help victims decide what their most pressing needs are and provide information about services in our area that may be helpful in meeting those needs.

We will, upon request, contact the victim in the days following the crisis to make sure that all available options were offered and to provide other referrals as necessary.
