Domestic abuse can make you feel isolated. Connecting with others who empathize with where you are provides a sense of community and understanding.
Our evidence-based peer-support programs are open to anyone in Alberta or Saskatchewan 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 is a one‑on‑one program open to anyone impacted by domestic abuse. Whether you’ve experienced abuse, supported someone else, or struggled with unhealthy relationship behaviours, we’ll match you with a peer you can connect with in person, by phone, or by email.
Finding Our Voices groups explore self‑esteem and the importance of healthy communication. Participants share their experiences, learn from one another, and reflect on topics like self‑image, shame, compassion and the role of healthy relationships — with ourselves and with others.
In Growth Circle, groups dive into the experience of domestic abuse. Topics range from understanding domestic abuse, contextualizing experiences of trauma and shame, to creating support systems and building personal power.
This 20-week program is for individuals who are, or have been, engaged at the intersections of domestic abuse and sex work. Our evidence-based, peer programming provides insight into the skills, support, and ability they have to maintain an abuse-free lifestyle.
