​​Mission:
Our mission is to extend compassionate support, facilitate healing, and promote education and awareness to all individuals who have experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), Family Violence, Sexual Violence, and Gender Based Violence. Our program aims to provide immediate support through tangible assistance and empower individuals. 
​Objectives:
Immediate Support:
Provide comfort kits, new replacement clothing, and gift cards, Indigenous medicines, and culturally appropriate needs, to individuals who have sought assistance at local emergency rooms in every public health facility in Canada, following incidents of Intimate Partner Violence, Family Violence, Sexual Violence, and Gender Based Violence.
Education and Awareness:
Conduct educational programs to inform and empower individuals about the dynamics of healthy relationships, warning signs of abuse, strategies and resources for prevention. We aim to do this through a trauma and violence informed lens recognizing that sexual violence is a result of misogyny, patriarchy, and inequality. We aim for a
society that is based on healthy relationships and is free from violence in all its forms.
Raise awareness within the community about the prevalence and impact of Intimate Partner Violence, Family Violence, Sexual Violence, and Gender Based Violence through targeted campaigns and initiatives, throughout Canada.
