Our Partnerships for Family Safety program provides support, advocacy and referral services to partners affected by violence or abuse by an intimate partner or family member. Our program works to support to empower women to help them make connections in their community and stay in their family home when it is safe to do so.
The Benefits of Partnerships for Family Safety
Our Partnerships for Family Safety program provides the following support:
-
Consented ongoing phone support, from the moment a violent or abusive partner engages one of our men’s behaviour change programs.
-
Safety planning for both women and their children.
-
Referrals to appropriate women’s advocacy services, specialist counselling and access to other victim services.
