A safe and healthy community for children and families
VCAPCC responds to children, youth and families affected by sexual abuse and other trauma, by providing victim services, counselling, prevention and education within the Greater Victoria community, and consultation throughout British Columbia.
Our philosophy is that children, youth and their families have the capacity to heal from the effects of child abuse and maltreatment when appropriately supported by their family, community and through the services they receive.
We are sad to announce the retirement of long time staff member Kelly Montgomery, who has been a part of the Victim Services Program at the agency since 1990. She held the role of coordinator for our Child and Youth Advocacy Centre since 2015, as well as Manager of Victim Services since 2019. We are grateful to have had someone with such kindness, commitment, and passion work with us for so many years.
We are also excited to announce that Renu Bawa will be taking on the role of Victim Service Manager and coordinator of our Child and Youth Advocacy Centre. Prior to coming to our agency, Renu worked for the Vancouver Crown Counsel office for 6 years and has experience running her own private counselling practice. Renu joined our Victim Service team in 2018 and worked in that program until early 2021, when she moved over to our Counselling team and accepted the position of Intake Counsellor. Renu's experience under several different managers and in depth knowledge of both programs will be valuable assets that she brings into her new role. Congratulations Renu Bawa!
