Victim/Survivor Services

At MADD Canada, we support the victims/survivors of impaired driving – not only those who were directly involved in crashes caused by impaired drivers, but also the families and friends who are trying to cope with the loss or injury of loved ones. Each year, we offer our services to thousands of victims/survivors across Canada. In the aftermath of a crash, you may have many questions and don’t know where to turn. MADD Canada’s top priority is supporting victims/survivors of impaired driving crashes and we are here for you. We understand and our services are free. If you or someone you know has been injured or has lost a loved one as a result of someone else’s choice to drive impaired, we have many resources available to you and your family during these difficult times.
