Victim Services Wellington (VSW) believes every victim has the right to heal from a crime or tragic circumstance. Our services create opportunities to heal, foster hope and to promote a safer and healthier community.
VSW has been in operation since 1997. Our volunteers are trained extensively in communication, crisis intervention, traumatic stress and victim's issues. Working in cooperation with the police, fire, and other emergency services within Guelph and Wellington County, we ensure our community's needs are met 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
