About this service
The Children Who Witness Abuse Program provides individual and group counselling for children who have witnessed intimate partner violence and abuse. This helps children recognize abusive behaviour, look at alternatives to violence and break the cycle of abuse. It gives them the tools to deal with their feelings and experiences. We also offer support for mothers. We provide public education about the effects of witnessing abuse and facilitate dating violence prevention presentations in public schools and other community-based groups.
The program aims to:
Provide a non-threatening environment to explore and understand feelings
Teach healthy ways to express emotions such as anger, hurt and fear
Let children know they are not alone and they are not to blame
Teach safety and problem-solving skills
Define abuse and raise awareness about personal rights
