Domestic and Family Violence Resources

Domestic and family violence is a pattern of behaviour to gain power and control. There are many different types of abuse including psychological or emotional violence, sexual violence, financial abuse, physical violence and spiritual violence.  

It can happen to anyone regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender, age, social background or culture and can occur in any relationship.

No matter what your relationship to someone is, sexual, domestic and family violence are never ok.
