Counseling is a confidential service provided either on an individual basis or in a group.
Counseling has as a primary purpose to enhance, protect and restore a person's sense of well-being and social functioning after victimization. An offender or an accomplice of an offender shall in no case be eligible to receive compensation with respect to a crime committed by the offender. No victim or dependent shall be denied compensation solely because he is a relative of the offender or was living with the offender as a family or household member at the time of the injury or death. However, the division may award compensation to a victim or dependent who is a relative, family or household member of the offender only if the division can reasonably determine the offender will receive no substantial economic benefit or unjust enrichment from the compensation. No compensation of any kind may be made to a victim or intervenor injured while confined in any federal, state, county, or municipal jail, prison or other correctional facility, including house arrest.
