Violence, Verbal or Physical Abuse Print E-mail

Physical, verbal or emotional violence is never acceptable.  If you are a victim of violence then you're probably in a very difficult situation and seeking a way out.  We can show you how to deal with the violence and what your options are.

Sometimes emergency personnel and counselling professionals aren't prepared to deal with victims of violence who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing.  This is where we come in.  We have years of experience dealing with a wide range of issues facing the deaf and hard of hearing community. 

What Do I Do?

The first thing you can do is click the Contact Us button above.  We'll set up an appointment or refer you to a counsellor who specializes in violence and abuse.  Then the violence can stop and the healing can begin. 

How Can You Help?

There are many possible and safe solutions to the problem of violence.   Society has come a long way towards recognizing violence as a problem and effectively dealing with it.  You are not alone anymore and there are many professionals who can provide a way out.  We can be your first step towards getting out of your difficult situation.

What If I'm The Violent One? 

If you're struggling to control your anger, we can help by connecting you with resources for anger management.
