Victims' Voices Heard Inc. - Severe Violence Dialogue Program

Historically victims of crime have been left out of the justice process and were not afforded the same rights as offenders in their cases.
Victims' Voices Heard Inc. is a severe violence dialogue program that offers victims and survivors of violent crime the opportunity to meet with their offender face-to-face in order to facilitate the healing recovery process. Victims' Voices Heard acts as an advocate on behalf of the victim, helping them through the process and arranging a safe and secure environment for the meeting to take place.

Our Program is an Opportunity

Meeting with the person who committed the crime provides victims with the opportunity to:

• Tell the offender the full impact the crime has had on their lives
• Ask questions and receive answers about the crime from the offender
• Hear offenders take responsibility for the crime and express their remorse
• Receive personal insight and feel empowered
• Find out about the offender’s life inside the institution and what kind of person they are after the crime
