What's Happening?
NCVAN Support GroupsNCVAN is considering whether to form local support groups for crime victims across the state because we have learned that the victims of violent crimes often have a unique understanding and sympathy for others who have endured the same ordeals. We envision small groups led and run by the victims themselves. This peer-to-peer counseling would provide a safe place where crime victims can gather, share their stories, gain helpful information and derive emotional support. We would like to hear your reaction to the idea of NCVAN starting a support group in your area. Do you think that crime victims in your area would benefit from the formation of a new crime victim support group that receives technical support from NCVAN? Do you have any suggestions as to individuals or local groups that might be interested in working with us on this effort? Please email your ideas here.
