Breaking The Cycle Of Violence

 

McGuinty Government Helps Victim Services For Newcomers In London

A London project will help address family violence in immigrant and refugee communities.

The province is supporting the Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration which helps families that have re-located to London from
international conflict zones.

The project will coordinate resources from a number of local service providers such as police, hospitals and child welfare services, in order to best respond to these victims’ unique needs.

The tools and resources developed from the project will benefit additional social service agencies that are working to address family violence among immigrants and refugees in London and will help develop the provincewide strategy.

    $200,000 from the Ontario government, which includes $80,000 from the Victims’
