Integrated Domestic & Family Violence Services (IDFVS)

A free service for high risk victims of domestic and family abuse, escaping danger – women, children and men, no matter your background, family situation or gender. We empower families to be safe and recover from living with violence and abuse, whether or not you choose to stay in the relationship or leave. We provide advocacy and support with court processes, Victim Services claims, reporting to Police and access to ongoing supports within the community. We provide information and connection with specific supports, exploring options based on a complete safety and needs assessment. We also offer the following programs and workshops:
