Crime Victims Assistance Applications
If you are approved for services, CVAP provides financial assistance for private counselling services for immediate family members, victims, and witnesses in dealing with the effects of violent crime. At Options, children are offered free services until the age of 19; however, if you feel more support is required afterwards, financial assistance from CVAP may be acquired. If you are not approved for CVAP, an appeal can be made. If you feel you require immediate services while on the Options waitlist, and have been approved for CVAP, you have the option of using those funds to see a private practitioner. Please Note: If you choose to use your CVAP funding to see a private practitioner immediately, you will be removed from the waitlist. Either way, please let your intake clinician at Options know that you have applied, and whether you have been approved or not.
