Archdiocese Adds Victim Assistance Program

MINNESOTA
KAAL

Victims harmed by clergy abuse will have another way to receive assistance.

The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis announced Thursday it was partnering with Canvas Health, a Stillwater-based organization that provides counseling, crisis services, psychiatry and health services.

Tim O’Malley, director of ministerial standards and safe environment for the archdiocese, said in a statement that he consulted with survivors of clergy abuse and lawyers for plaintiffs and other experts about enhancing the victims’ assistance program.

The archdiocese has had a victims assistance program since 1992.
