WHAT WE OFFER

In general, we offer:

  • Confidential, non-judgmental crisis support and practical assistance

  • On-site support - at the time of the incident - to someone who has experienced a crime, tragic life event, or community disaster - at the time of the incident - we are there for 5 minutes or 5 hours - however long we are needed

  • We offer follow up contact to check in with the individual a few days later to see how they are doing and if we can be of any further assistance

  • We also offer short term support over the telephone during office hours - this can be requested by the community at large, without a referral

  • Because we are a short term crisis response program, we also offer referrals to existing community agencies for longer term support

  • We provide support to friends and family members of someone who has been victimized by crime or tragedy and in order to provide a better understanding of what their loved one may be going through

  • We provide public education and awareness on related issues

  • It is important to note that our service is free to all residents of Timmins and District and it is based on consent

Some Ideas to Help Get me Through

  • I need to remember that I am having a normal reaction to an abnormal situation

  • It is okay to talk about what happened and ask for help

  • This is not a time for me to make any big life changes

  • I will try and take care of myself including eating well, physical exercise and water.
