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