The Victim Crisis Assistance Ontario (VCAO) program offers immediate, on-site services to victims of crime and/or tragic circumstances 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year.

VCAO OVERVIEW

Police and emergency services arrange for VCAO Staff and/or Crisis Responders to respond on-site, for short-term emotional and practical support, and make referrals to community agencies for long-term assistance.

VCAO is funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS), Province of Ontario consisting of staff and highly trained volunteer crisis responders within the community who have been trained in crisis intervention. VCAO offers free non-judgmental practical assistance, emotional support and referrals. VCAO programs work in partnership with local police and emergency services and are managed by volunteer community boards of directors.
