Family Violence Prevention Outreach Program

What is this program?

It is a support program for individuals who are, or who have been, in an abusive relationship living in Fredericton and the surrounding areas.
  • Individuals could be living with the abusive partner, dating someone who is abusive or not sure whether their relationship is abusive. they could also have left the relationship and need support or services. 
  • We also offer support and information to friends and family of people affected by intimate partner violence.

​All our services are free & confidential
“We believe every person knows what is best for them; they are the expert on their own lives.
We are here to help them do what they feel is best for them.”
