San Juan County Victim Services sends this announcement about the Crime Victim Service Center Community Planning Process meeting to be held in Bellingham next month:
Community Meeting for Region 12, Whatcom, San Juan, and Skagit Counties
The Crime Victim Service Center (CVSC) program, including Whatcom, San Juan & Skagit Counties will be holding an open meeting to discuss services for victims of crime in our community and the funding that support this program.
The meeting will be held on: Thursday April 3rd, 2014, 10:30 AM at Brigid Collins Family Support Center, 1231 N. Garden St., Conference Room, Bellingham, WA.
We will be discussing crime victim services that are provided by our CVSC, direct services provided since July 2013, areas in which services are lacking, steps to expand service, and introduction to our CVSC partners.
Crime Victim Advocacy services are for adult, child, and juvenile victims of crime.
Advocacy services include 24/7 – hotline crisis intervention, listening to a victim’s experience without judging him/her, talking about options that may help, speaking on the behalf of victims to law enforcement, employers, prosecutors, landlords, etc., and can accompany victims to court hearings or to medical appointments. CVCS can provide information on useful local or state resources.
If you plan to attend and need any assistance at all please call 360-370-7610, or give a call to discuss your ideas and views.
