Domestic abuse can make you feel isolated. Connecting with others who empathize with where you are provides a sense of community and understanding. When individuals who have been affected by domestic abuse engage in evidence-based peer programming then individual and systemic change will occur that promotes respectful, healthy and peaceful relationships. 

Our peer-support programs are open for anyone who has been impacted by domestic abuse, including people who are at risk of being abused, informally support others, or are involved in sex work.

Step Forward

This unique peer-support program is open to anyone impacted by domestic abuse who is looking to connect with someone for support. Whether you are someone who has experienced abuse, provided formal or informal support, or struggled with unhealthy relationship behaviours, we will work to pair you with a peer who you can connect with in-person, by phone or via email to discuss issues that are relevant to your current situation and experiences.
