The Victoria Child Abuse Prevention & Counselling Centre, (Mary Manning Centre), is the primary provider of therapy and victim services for children and youth in Greater Victoria who have experienced abuse, and is Victoria's only non-profit agency dedicated to treating child victims of abuse. The Society was founded by Mary Manning, a retired nurse who, together with art therapist Rita Milot, began providing counselling services to child survivors of sexual abuse in 1984. As a result of this pioneering work, thousands of people - children, youth, and families - have been helped to heal and recover from the effects of child abuse. Serving more than 200 children and families every year, the Centre offers individual and group therapy sessions as well as court preparation and support for children who testify in criminal cases. The agency makes its services accessible to all, and accommodates the needs of children and parents who have disabilities.
