This program aims at working with children who have either experienced or witnessed violence. The philosophy of the program recognizes that parent/child conflict is not a cause of violence and abuse directed at children and that in a parent/child relationship, children do not instigate or cause violence or abuse themselves. With parental consent children can receive counselling individually, without a parent being present in the session. The goals of counselling are to help manage the effects of abuse, increase coping capacities and develop strategies for managing on a daily basis.

The primary philosophy of the Immediate Intervention Services is to ensure that there is immediate access to services for women and children who are experiencing/have experienced or have witnessed any form of emotional, psychological, financial, sexual, physical abuse, and any form of coercive control. There is no waitlist for this service and it is free of charge. Referrals to this program are open, but often come from Victim Services of Peel.

Partner Assault Response is a provincially approved program for men who have been charged with assault. Participants are referred through probation, early intervention or parole and there is a fee for this service based on a sliding scale. The program addresses violence in intimate partner relationships with two primary goals: to enhance victim safety and to increase the offender accountability. The program is an integrated intervention that works with the male participants and their female partners or former partners. The philosophy of the program is that as men participate in the program there will be a reduction and an end to their violent behaviour in their intimate partner relationships and an increased sense of safety and well-being for the partners/former partners and children who experience and or witness abuse.

Turning Point Group

To increase offender accountability, men are required to attend Turning Point, a fifteen-week closed group comprising about fourteen to sixteen members and is co-facilitated by a female and male facilitator.

Partner Contact

In an effort to deal effectively with woman abuse, the current and/or former partners of a male participating in the PAR group are contacted and offered support and counselling. Counsellors contact the woman who was assaulted and any current/former partners since the assault that led to a charge, to offer them support, develop safety plans, or provide information and referrals to other appropriate services. They are contacted at least four times during the time the men are attending the group. The contact will be done even if they are attending individual counselling at the agency.

Similar to the Violence Against Women program, services are provided to senior women (55 years old and over) that have experienced violence.
