Coping with the Consequences of Crime
Following a reorganisation, Hall Green is now covered by South West Victim Support on their new phone number 0121-778-5864. Practical and emotional support is offered to victims of crime. The help might include follow up calls to the police, organising a support letter to a housing association, contacting a school about bullying or sending out a personal alarm.
Contact is initially by phone, although some calls may result in a home visit being arranged or an invitation to come in to the VS office for an appointment. Victim Support also help with criminal injury compensation. There are also support groups for women who have suffered violent crime. VS work in schools covers personal safety and bullying.
All this and much more. If you’ve been a victim of crime and would like some help in coping or need some further information, just give Jill Dourass at Victim Support a ring.
