Victim Support Malta is a non-governmental organization born in 2006 that currently caters for the needs of over 400 individuals. The NGO provides support and assistance to victims of crime, such as theft, burglary, cyber crime, domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, physical assault and hate crime. The services provided by VSM include the provision of emotional support to assist victims in overcoming trauma following a crime; information and support pertaining to the relative criminal procedures (e.g. the victims’ right to request compensation and to access forms of protection provided by the law); and practical assistance (e.g. liaison with police, or other ancillary matters). VSM is in the process of growing its services to include working with younger victims as well as persons victimized by circumstance and indirect crime, trauma being at the root of all our interventions.
Our family consists of a small core group of dedicated individuals who manage the daily administration of all our projects and services as well as an overall headcount of over 50+ service providers that include Therapists, Psychiatrists, Counsellors, Lawyers, Social Workers and some volunteers. We work tirelessly as one collaborative unit to provide the highest standards of care and service to everyone who seeks our support.
