Dear Friends:

CVAC advocates for victim/survivors by offering the ministry of presence and spiritual healing through prayer and encouragement and physical help through individual and group education, and resource referral services to help survivors of crime cope with crises, stress, trauma, loss, grief and death.

Support groups

CVAC is a non-denominational Christian based organization, who seeks to assist all crime victim/survivors, regardless of race, sex, age, national origin, or religious affiliation. Therefore, we offer support groups (currently online) on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm. The group sessions are designed to help survivors of crime and their loved ones learn about victims’ rights and find ways to cope with the associated stress, trauma, grief and loss triggered by their victimization. Here, group members can safely and securely discuss their feelings, ask questions, explore solutions, discuss their faith, share strategies and updates and celebrate successes in confidence. Group participation is completely voluntary and free of charge. Spiritual care and prayer are also available upon request before and after group. Please contact us for participant intake forms, group rules/covenant and group web link access.

Individual Support

CVAC also provides individual support and spiritual care/pastoral counseling, prayer and access to information about victims’ rights and assistance with filing victim compensation claims, victim impact statements, and requests for victim notification.

CRISIS INTERVENTION

We give assistance by phone and in person, in hospitals and in court rooms, wherever victims need our help.

SUPPORT GROUPS

CVAC provides a safe, supportive place where victims of any type of crime can find understanding and help.

ASSISTANCE IN FILING VICTIMS’ COMPENSATION

The Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program reimburses victims for such things as hospital costs, funeral services and lost wages.

EDUCATION REGARDING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM

We explain to victims how the court and prison systems work, in order to prevent the confusion and surprise which frustrates and re-victimizes victims.
