The Prince George Native Friendship Centre’s Indigenous Victim Services program provides support for our Prince George community members, who may be struggling after an incident of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, or human trafficking.

We offer a genuine, caring and empathetic approach to being present with a survivor, to hear his or her story and to help with the process of moving toward healing. This can include supporting community members during their time attending court, helping to navigate the complexities of the legal system, and helping to find resources that can assist in developing tools for personal wellness.

This program supports both Indigenous and Non-Indigenous community members with the challenges that may surface following survival of a crime, including court orientation, victim impact statements, court accompaniment, liaising with crown counsel and the RCMP, providing general court information, and accessing the “Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP)”.

We work collaboratively with and can refer out to counseling, lawyers, multicultural supports, court workers, housing, literacy, human rights complaints services and police complaints services.
