Who We Are:
The mission of the CCVS Crime Victim Advisory Group is to join with the Vermont Center for Crime Victim Services to provide guidance on systematic changes that will benefit other crime victims, contribute to the prevention of crime and violence, and to advance in the healing journey of survivors.
This guidance includes feedback to victim-centered programs, training events, public outreach and education, and legislative advocacy efforts. Survivors have a critical role to play in Vermont's response to violence and victimization. Their guidance, knowledge, and experience should be at the center of our work in victim services.
