Bissell Centre, along with Boyle Street Community Services, has developed a new program that provides street level access to programs and services to victims of crime. This program offers a safe gateway for marginalized people to acquire information and receive support to ultimately access and successfully navigate the Criminal Justice System.
Some of the other services include, but are not limited to:
- one on one case management to ensure social and emotional support
- identifying participants who are eligible to access financial benefits
- court support and assistance with documentation
- crisis intervention, risk and needs assessment and safety planning
- teaching financial literacy skills
- community awareness education
