Has someone hurt you?
If someone intentionally hurts you, remember you are not alone—we can help you get back on track. The earlier you seek support, the sooner you will recover. Learn more about when you should ask for help.
Financial assistance
We may be able to pay for the things that will help you recover from the violent crime and its effects.
For example, counselling; medical and dental expenses; loss of earnings and safety needs.
