Link Health and Community is committed to promoting the safety of women and children in our community and provides a comprehensive service to those affected by family violence. We provide programs that support women and children who have, or are experiencing violence, and a Men’s Behaviour Change Program for men who identify as having issues with their violent and controlling behaviour. This behaviour includes physical, sexual, emotional, verbal, economic, social and financial abuse and intimidation.
Link Health and Community offers individual, as well as family counselling and group programs to anyone wanting to address issues related to family violence.
If you are experiencing or have experienced family violence, or you need extra help with the care of children, please contact The Orange Door.
