| Description (Service) | Individual and group counselling, education, support for children who have witnessed woman abuse.

Under the direction of two experienced facilitators, the children will explore their individual strengths, learn about safe/ unsafe behaviours and relationships and better understand their feelings and thoughts. While the children participate in the group, there is a separate mothers' group that meets for education, support, problem solving and sharing of information and resources that relate to their children.Groups are offered once a week for 12 weeks. Subsidies are available for travel and child care services. |
