VictimLINK
VictimLINK is a province-wide telephone help line for victims of family and sexual violence, and all other crimes.
It is a toll-free 24-hour service operated by Information Services Vancouver (ISV) on behalf of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
VictimLINK victim support workers provide information and referrals to all victims of crime, and crisis support to victims of family and sexual violence, including sexual assault, violence in relationships, elder abuse, and adult survivors of physical or sexual abuse.
They connect people to a network of community, social, health, justice, and government resources, including victim services, transition houses, and counselling resources. They also provide information on the justice system, relevant federal and provincial legislation and programs, crime prevention, safety planning, protection order registry, and other resources as needed.
