Who
We Are:
|
C.C.A.R.E.S. is a Victim Crisis Assistance and Referral Service
(VCARS) operating under the Ministry of the Attorney General, Victim
Services Division. The not for profit, charitable agency,
serves the Counties of Lennox & Addington, Prince Edward , and
Hastings. 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, with the victim's consent,
to provide immediate assistance OR may recommend that the
victim contact the agency at a later time.
