We understand that when tragedy strikes, it can be a frightening and traumatic experience that often carries with it great physical, emotional, or financial harm. Many victims have questions about whom they can turn to and where they can go for help. When it comes to financial assistance, the California Victim Compensation Program (CalVCP) may provide needed compensation to help cover treatment and other support services for victims and their families. With the victim in mind, this website aims to provide access to valuable information and resources to ensure victims are supported through this critical time.
