What is domestic violence?

Domestic violence happens too often, and to all kinds of people. It happens when people in intimate relationships (dating, married or living together) use abusive behaviour to control or hurt their partners or ex-partners.

What is family violence?

Abuse within families can also have serious effects. This includes elder abuse, child abuse, abuse by immediate and extended family members, etc. If this is happening in your family, please explore available services at the links below.

Violence includes
– physical abuse
– sexual abuse & exploitation (being used for a sexual purpose)
– neglect
– mental or emotional abuse
– financial abuse

All forms of violence are unacceptable.
