Resources vary from one community to another but a good starting point is to call the Provincial Family Violence Line at 310-1818. They can provide information about resources in your community.
If you are an abused adult it is important to know you do have options and counselling is available as are legal and financial assistance, shelters and support groups.
If you use abuse in your relationships it is important to know you can learn healthier ways of living with the people you love.
If you are a child or teen living in a home where the adults abuse one another please talk to a trusted adult such as a relative, teacher, or coach so they can help you find the support you need. You can also call Human Services (formerly Children and Youth Services or Children’s Services) at 1-800-387- 5437. You deserve to be safe and you are not responsible for the behaviour of the adults in your life.
If you know a child who is exposed to abuse between adults or who is directly abused please help - it is your business - you can make a difference in the life of a child. Please call Human Services (formerly Children and Youth Services or Children’s Services) at 1-800-387- 5437.
