Police + Court Support

Your Choice

As each individual’s healing journey – and how they respond to and heal from trauma – is unique, it can be challenging to navigate the criminal justice system. CASASC is here to empower you to make your own choices, and define your own experience, no matter how it is framed in a criminal justice response.

You are not alone. We are here to support you through this process.

Your Healing Process

Each individual’s healing journey is unique. Your experience and journey are unique.

For some, the criminal justice process may be a major part of their journey. For others, it may play a smaller role, or be completely separate from healing.

Your Safe Place

The CASASC Police + Court Support program is your safe place. We are dedicated to being that place where you work through your options, navigate the system, and process a traumatic experience.

Our support worker is here to listen and support you while you are considering or navigating the criminal justice system. We are advocates and sources of information for you – that safe guiding presence throughout the process.
