Helping you to move forward.......

Red Deer Rural Victim assistance serves the people of the counties of Red Deer and Lacombe, including the municipality of Blackfalds. At the request of a police officer, Victim Serivces Advocates come to the immediate aid of a shattered life. This may include someone who has been sexually assaulted, harassed, beated, robbed, involved in a motor vehicle accident, or experienced the sudden death of a loved one. They provide confidentiality, compassion, a listening ear, and direction on obtaining support services. Advocates accompany victims to court and track criminal proceedings for the victim, should it be required.

"As a volunteer for Victim Services,
I cannot do great things, but I can do
small things in a great way because I care. Helping the victim to make each day a little bit better
gives them the hope to move forward."
