Because of physical distancing and restrictions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, many victim services in Canada had to modify their methods of assisting and supporting victims.
A study released today, "The COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on Canadian victim services," examines the experiences of Canadian victim services during the first months of the pandemic. The Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadian Victim Services survey was conducted in June and July 2020. The survey asked a sample of victim services about changes they experienced in the number of victims served, factors that affected their ability to provide services and how they had adapted their operations to continue to serve victims.
