Womens' Place Trauma Counselling Program

Crime - Victim Assistance Counselling

For any women, children, adolescents or men that have been the victim of a crime and have been awarded counselling benefits through the Crime – Victim Assistance Program we have experienced trauma counsellors that can help people resolve the traumatic stress that has  resulted from the incident.  

Traumatic stress can severely disrupt a person’s functioning and well-being.  It is common to experience difficulty sleeping, panic attacks, withdrawal from every day activities, low mood and hypervigilance.  

Our trauma counsellors have extensive training in helping people that have experienced a trauma. The therapy models used by our trauma counsellors include Sensory-Motor Processing, Focusing, Eye Movement De-sensitization and Reprocessing and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Trauma.

For more information or to set up an appointment please contact Heather Evans at 604-541-4827.
