Services for women experiencing violence or feeling controlled

Domestic and family violence has a lasting effect. Violence is not okay and it is never your fault.

Program Overview

If you or your children experience any form of abuse, we’re here to support you. Our experienced counsellors can help you with past experiences or if you are living with violence now.

Signs you might be in a violent or controlling relationship

 
  • Do you feel safe in your current relationship? 

  • Do you feel that you have limited freedom or control over your life?

  • Are you concerned about the effects of violence and abuse on your children? 

  • Does your partner try to stop you from seeing family and friends? 

Counselling options to suit you and your family

Our counselling services are for anybody who is experiencing abuse. All sexualities, gender identities, ages and people from diverse family and cultural backgrounds are welcome. We can provide interpreter and translation services if needed.
