Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Support
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a pervasive issue that affects individuals across all demographics, often leaving survivors feeling isolated, fearful, and unsure of where to turn. At Roots of Resilience, we understand that the road to recovery from IPV is challenging and requires immediate, specialized support tailored to each survivor’s unique situation. Our IPV Support services are designed to provide a comprehensive, compassionate response that addresses both the immediate safety needs and the long-term recovery goals of survivors.
Support Services
Discover our range of compassionate and survivor-centered support services for individuals affected by IPV. We prioritize confidentiality and empathy in every interaction.
Emergency Shelter
We provide access to safe, confidential shelters where survivors can escape the immediate threat of violence. Our shelters are equipped with the resources necessary to support survivors in crisis, offering a secure environment where they can begin to heal.
Court Support
Navigating the legal system can be overwhelming, especially for those who have experienced trauma. We offer court accompaniment services, where a dedicated support person will provide emotional support and practical assistance throughout the court process.
Group Therapy
Connecting with others who have experienced similar challenges can be incredibly healing. Our group therapy sessions offer a supportive community where survivors can share their stories, learn from each other, and build strength together.
Peer Support Groups
Our peer support groups provide a space for survivors to connect, share, and support each other. These groups foster a sense of community and solidarity, helping survivors realize they are not alone in their journey.
5. Safety Planning:
Transitional Housing
For survivors ready to take the next step, we offer transitional housing options that provide a stable living situation while they work towards long-term independence. These housing options are paired with ongoing support services to ensure that survivors have the resources they need to rebuild their lives.
Legal Rights Education
We empower survivors by educating them about their legal rights and options. Understanding the legal landscape can help survivors make informed decisions about their safety and future.
Children's Counselling
We recognize that IPV often impacts the entire family, including children. Our specialized counseling services for children help them process their experiences and develop resilience, providing them with a safe space to express their feelings and begin to heal.
Personalized Safety Plans
Every survivor’s situation is unique, which is why we work with them to develop personalized safety plans. These plans include strategies for staying safe, whether they choose to remain in their current situation or leave the relationship. Our counselors and advocates ensure that these plans are practical, actionable, and tailored to the survivor’s specific circumstances.
Protective Orders
Our legal team assists survivors in obtaining protective orders to ensure their safety. We guide them through the legal process, providing representation and advocacy to secure the legal protections they need.
Individualized Counselling
Our trauma-informed counselors provide one-on-one sessions to help survivors process their experiences, manage their emotions, and develop coping strategies. These sessions are designed to meet the survivor where they are in their recovery journey, offering personalized support that respects their pace and needs.
Life Skills Workshop
Rebuilding a life after IPV requires more than just safety—it requires the tools to thrive independently. We offer life skills workshops that cover a range of topics, including financial literacy, job readiness, and self-care. These workshops are designed to empower survivors to take control of their future.
