2024 Q1 Newsletter

California Family Life Center

We started 2024 off strong with a presentation given by our director Samantha Thornsberry at the California Family Life Center on Missing/Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP). We are honored to collaborate and educate Native and Non-Native partners in our services area!

All System Go!

CCVAP has adopted a new advocacy time management program (VELA) to help us with case management, demographic reporting, and keeping track of grant-specific workflow. A huge thank you to our Victim Services Manager, Joseph, for all his hard work in helping us launch this new platform!
