Disability Alliance BC (DABC) has created a number of Anti-Violence resources, including a series of Help Sheets on a number of topics on the criminal justice system – how it works and what to expect – in both English and French.

These Help Sheets can help people with disabilities to increase their understanding of the procedures and processes they will go through if they have been a victim of a crime.

Open by Appointment Only

Disability Alliance BC offers the following ways to access our services: over the phone, virtually, or in-person at our office located in downtown Vancouver. As the demand for our services is very high, we do not take walk-in appointments.

Since 1977, Disability Alliance BC has been a provincial, cross-disability voice in British Columbia. Our mission is to promote a more inclusive and equitable society for people with all disabilities through direct services, community partnerships, systemic advocacy, research, and publications.

We acknowledge and have deep gratitude to work together on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Selíl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations of the Coast Salish people. We honour the many territorial keepers of the lands.

DABC is a proud member of the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD)and BC Poverty Reduction Coalition.

DABC is proud to be certified as a Living Wage Employer by Living Wage for Families BC! We are glad to be able to support our staff to feel valued in their roles and provide them with the opportunity to thrive in their communities.
