Family Violence Resources

Family Violence ResourcesSearch for family violence resources in Edmonton, online, and other information sources.

The EVPC recognizes that intimate partner violence does not always involve a male using abuse against a female. We have included resources that address women who abuse male partners or abuse that occurs within a same-sex relationship. Education, a safe environment, counselling and support play important roles in ending family violence.

This resource is made possible by a Community Initiatives Grant from the Alberta government.
