The Washington Statement for Crime Victims Mental Health Services is a document that outlines the core principles of providing mental health services for victims of crime. This statement was developed by the Washington State Office of Crime Victims Advocacy in order to ensure that victims of crime have access to appropriate and effective mental health services. The Washington Statement for Crime Victims Mental Health Services includes the following core principles: 1. Respect: Respect for the rights, dignity, and autonomy of crime victims. 2. Access: Access to the full range of mental health services that meet the individual’s needs. 3. Choice: Choice of mental health services and providers. 4. Support: Support for victims in accessing mental health services and in their recovery process. 5. Safety: Safety and confidentiality in the provision of mental health services. 6. Coordination: Coordination of mental health services with other services available to crime victims. 7. Education: Education for providers and the public on the mental health needs of crime victims. 8. Accountability: Accountability for the quality of mental health services provided to crime victims. The Washington Statement for Crime Victims Mental Health Services is divided into two parts: the core principles and the implementation guide. The core principles are the basic principles of providing mental health services to victims of crime, while the implementation guide provides guidance on how to apply these principles in practice.
