What you will learn
Every year, Family Service Toronto offers confidential services to over 1000 women seeking help. We provide support, information about community resources and advice on how to be safe, over the phone or in person.
If you decide to make an appointment, our professional counsellors will help you explore your options, make decisions and find solutions on how to deal with your situation.
In addition to one-on-one counselling, many women attend support groups, wellness retreats and educational workshops. We also have one-on-one and group counselling for children who have witnessed abuse.
Our services are available in a variety of languages, to women of diverse backgrounds, or with special needs, living or working in Toronto. Our fees are geared to an individual's income and no one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.
Through our program will learn:
- that you are not alone and that there are options available
to you
- what abuse is and why it happens
- to build on your strengths and increase your self-esteem
- to plan for the future and learn new coping skills
- to be safe
- to restore a sense of control and hope in your life
