This week is Victims and Survivors of Crime Week (May 12–18, 2024). Throughout the week we will be highlighting our gender-based violence services and resources offered at DIVERSEcity. ![]()

We start the week highlighting our Multicultural Victims Outreach Services, which provide safe and protective support for self-identified women who have experienced intimate partner violence through practical assistance and support. These outreach services are often combined with our Stopping the Violence Counselling services. ![]()
![]()
DIVERSEcity’s Stopping the Violence Counselling program uses trauma-informed therapeutic approaches to support self-identified women survivors of violence in their healing journey. ![]()

One of the women we helped through Stopping the Violence shared: “Having no family members and friends in Canada, I needed someone to hear my story and validate my feelings. I learned to stay motivated and work toward my goals. I learned about the cycle of abuse and increased my self-esteem and self-worth.” ![]()

DIVERSEcity’s services are free, compassionate, culturally informed, confidential and available in several languages. ![]()
