Victim Advocacy: Victims are immediately assigned a Child Youth Advocate who supports them from beginning to end of their traumatic journey. The Child Youth Advocate serves as the child/youth/family’s representative from intake to end of service time; connecting the family with all the support programs that are available to them and the Centre becomes the place where meetings with police, social workers and other service providers are held.
Caregiver Support: The Alisa’s Wish CYAC Caregiver Support Group is a six week psychoeducational series for caregivers/parents of child or youth clients of the Centre who are supporting their children through a traumatic experience; abuse is recognized as having an impact on the entire family.
