The ReVOC project offers support, advice and information to you and your family. Traumatic incidents of violent crime can have a serious impact on people. We can provide emotional support for mental health and practical assistance to help people navigate the Criminal Justice System.
The ReVOC service supports victims of crime across Northumbria who fall under either of these categories:
Mental Health
Where the crime has impacted on the victim’s mental health.
The victim requires support for their mental health due to the crime experienced and may also require support with the CJS due to ongoing investigations.
The support is connected to the crime, but does not require long term mental health interventions. They are not currently involved with secondary care mental health services.
Victims can be aged 16+.
Support provided: Practical and emotional support either remotely or face to face. Support through CJS, including support at court. If appropriate, referral into our counselling service, other services and projects, and access to tailored worksheets.
Violence Against The Person
Serious violent crime includes S18 and S20 assaults, non- fatal strangulation, aggravated robbery/burglary and attempted murder.
Victims can be aged 18+.
A victim of a serious violent crime.
