- Getting you information about policies and practices, including information about the criminal justice system, police procedures, child and family services, and health and social services
- Providing you information in a compassionate, culturally-sensitive, and trauma-informed manner
- Explaining to you why information may not be available
- Connecting you to services and supports promoting healing and wellness, including referrals to local victim services, cultural supports, and grief counselling.
Family members include both blood relatives and non-blood relatives, such as adopted families, cultural kin, foster care relatives, and chosen family.
