Breaking Free from Family Violence Worker

Breaking Free from Family Violence Program

The Breaking Free from Family Violence program will support Indigenous women in a culturally rooted, holistic way. The program aims to assist women in navigating through the complex systems encountered when experiencing violence and involvement in child welfare matters.

The workers will focus on:

1. Crisis management and stabilization
2. Awareness and education
3. Planning and goal setting
4. Liaising with service providers
5. Providing conflict resolution support for Indigenous women and their families

They will build dependable, reliable, and trustworthy relationships with women and mothers, while preserving their dignity and promoting a holistic approach among all service providers. This will help ensure the rights of the mother and child are both upheld.
