CVAP Counsellors in Vancouver
Supporting You Through Recovery After Crime or Trauma
If you’ve been a victim of crime or experienced trauma in British Columbia, you may be eligible for free counselling through the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP). At Roya Counselling, we provide trauma-informed therapy to CVAP-approved clients in Vancouver and across BC, offering a safe, compassionate space to process what you've been through.
What is CVAP?
CVAP is a provincial program that helps victims, witnesses, and family members affected by crime access emotional support and recovery services. If your application is approved, CVAP can cover the cost of counselling sessions fully or partially, depending on your needs and circumstances.
