Integrated Violence Prevention & Response Services (IVPRS)

We have a dedicated team that provides counselling and other support services for First nations people impacted by abuse, neglect, sexual assault and domestic violence.

IVPRS incorporates two clinical services - Sexual Assault Services (SAS) and Child Protection Services (CPS). SAS provides crisis and ongoing counselling to victims of sexual assault & their non-offending caregivers/family members. CPS provides therapeutic, counselling and casework services to children, young people and their families when physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect or exposure to domestic violence has occurred within the family.
