After a Crime, Support Can Help You Find Steadier Ground
Being harmed by a crime, or losing someone to one, can shake your sense of safety. Fear, anger, trouble sleeping or replaying what happened are common reactions. Counseling offers a steady place to work through them, at your own pace.

Help Paying for Counseling
Confianza Health accepts Maricopa County, Gila County, Pinal County and Yavapai County Victim Compensation. Arizona's Crime Victim Compensation Program can help eligible victims and their families with crime-related costs, including mental health counseling. It pays what other sources, such as insurance, don't cover.
You apply to the victim compensation program at the county attorney's office in the county where the crime happened. There are requirements. For example, the crime generally has to be reported to law enforcement within 72 hours, and the application filed within two years of the crime or its discovery. Either deadline can be extended for good cause. Your county's victim compensation staff can tell you what applies to you.

Common Questions
Do I need to apply for victim compensation before I call?
No, you can call us either way. Our team can talk with you about payment options, including victim compensation, insurance and self-pay.
What can victim compensation pay for?
For people who qualify, it can help with crime-related costs such as medical care, mental health counseling, funeral costs and lost wages, where other sources like insurance don't cover them. Your county's victim compensation program decides who qualifies.
Can children and family members get counseling too?
Yes. We work with adults, teens and children, and with family members affected by what happened.
