CVAC advocates for victim/survivors by offering the ministry of presence and spiritual healing through prayer and encouragement and physical help through individual and group education, and resource referral services to help survivors of crime cope with crises, stress, trauma, loss, grief and death.
Support groups
CVAC is a non-denominational Christian based organization, who seeks to assist all crime victim/survivors, regardless of race, sex, age, national origin, or religious affiliation. Therefore, we offer support groups (currently online) on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm. The group sessions are designed to help survivors of crime and their loved ones learn about victims’ rights and find ways to cope with the associated stress, trauma, grief and loss triggered by their victimization. Here, group members can safely and securely discuss their feelings, ask questions, explore solutions, discuss their faith, share strategies and updates and celebrate successes in confidence. Group participation is completely voluntary and free of charge. Spiritual care and prayer are also available upon request before and after group. Please contact us for participant intake forms, group rules/covenant and group web link access.
Individual Support
CVAC also provides individual support and spiritual care/pastoral counseling, prayer and access to information about victims’ rights and assistance with filing victim compensation claims, victim impact statements, and requests for victim notification.
