Neighbours, Friends and Families
Neighbours, Friends and Families is a public education campaign to raise awareness of the signs of intimate partner violence so that those close to someone at risk or to someone using abusive behaviours can help. It engages the power of everyday relationships to help keep people and their children safe.
To schedule an in-person training:
Share Your Story
Survivors and family members of those who have been victims of domestic violence / intimate partner violence (IPV) often find it healing to share their stories. If you would like to share your story of domestic violence/IPV, we can offer you a safe and supportive space to do so. If you would like to write about your own experience, we can respectfully and gently work with you to craft a piece that you are comfortable sharing. Click here to learn more about how you can share your story.
New Online Training
This course has been designed as a support for anyone who is concerned about people who experience intimate partner violence. Whether it is information you are seeking for yourself or because you are concerned about someone you know, it is our hope that you will find the content you need to feel supported and to take action.
