Caledon\Dufferin Victim Services is a Victim Crisis Assistance and Referral Service (VCARS) operating under the Ministry of the Attorney General, Ontario Victim Services Secretariat.
The not-for-profit, charitable agency has been serving the Town of Caledon for nineteen years and the County of Dufferin for eleven years. The police based, volunteer driven organization provides much needed support to victims in their time of need.
The agency offers one-to-one, confidential assistance to help deal with the problems arising from an incident or situation, thus limiting the affects of crisis and helping victims to quickly return their lives to a desired degree of stability.
Representatives of the agency work closely with community agencies to provide an efficient and comprehensive service ensuring that the needs of each victim are properly met. Emergency response personnel may call on the program to provide immediate assistance OR may recommend that the victim contact the agency at a later time.
