Published purpose
Over the next five years, Manitoba Justice will undertake several activities to advance victim services by giving victims a more effective voice in the criminal justice system while ensuring the emotional and mental well-being of the criminal justice professionals. Planned activities include: addressing and mitigating the impacts of vicarious trauma experienced by staff working directly with victims of crime, in order to improve trauma-informed care offered, and prevent re-victimization by the Justice system; expanding access to funding for supports for victims and families to attend sentencing hearings; increasing the number of soft waiting spaces across Manitoba for victims/families to attend while participating in the criminal justice process; cultural immersion training for Victim Services Workers; and, translating public materials about intimate partner violence.
