We believe changing social norms, attitudes, and behaviours is essential to enhance one’s quality of life.
We provide integrated services to families that restore safety and well-being where family violence has or is at risk of occurring, creating long-term change.
Our team will work with you to help individuals and families access additional services needed and draw on broader family/community to achieve longer-term change.
