Community Services for Trauma in Vancouver, BC

Table of contents

Several regional public and private services are offered for trauma survivors to access help and healing, many at low or no cost. This info sheet will go over FREE LONG-TERM COMMUNITY OPTIONS only. I have separate resources for YOUTH IN CRISIS, ADULTS IN CRISIS, INDIGENOUS SERVICES, GRASSROOTS, and PHONE AND CHAT LINES.

This info sheet will detail the following services:

1. In-Person Counselling
2. Other Resources
3. Low-cost Group Services
4. Victim Services

A complete list of phone, chat, in-person, and online resources I have compiled can be found here: Phone, web, and chat services. Below are a selection of those resources which are specific to trauma.
