The Healing Journey
This site offers a number of publications for people who are working in the area of family violence prevention for Aboriginal communities – both on- and off-reserve.
Surviving the Past
This web site looks at the history and nature of institutional child abuse. It shows us how survivors are naming the abuse and restoring dignity in their lives and communities. For the purpose of this web site, institutional child abuse means the abuse forced upon a child living in an institution in Canada.
National Aboriginal Circle Against Family Violence
NACAFV’s mandate is to reduce family violence in Aboriginal communities by supporting the people on the front lines who work diligently to provide safe family environments.
Centre of Excellence for Matrimonial Real Property
Since inception in 2000, NALMA has built a reputation for providing support to First Nations across Canada relating to the management of reserve lands. NALMA’s achievements provide the perfect foundation upon which to build the Centre of Excellence for Matrimonial Real Property.
It doesn’t have to be physical to be abuse
You might not notice it’s happening. You may just think it’s normal. It’s not. Verbal and other non-physical abuse can take a serious toll on your psychological and emotional health. It can also be a serious warning sign for more physical forms of abuse and sexual violence.
