If you're in an abusive relationship you can get help from a number of places in Edmonton. The Today Centre is one of these and aims to help all affected family members. We have social workers, police services, and the Victoria Order of Nurses on-site at our office. We can also bring in assistance from Child & Family Services, Alberta Employment, Immigration, as well as other community organizations if you request them. The Family Violence Information Line 780 -310-1818 is available 24 hours per day and has immediate access to more that 170 languages.
The Today Centre can match you with one of our caring resources workers who can help you, your children and your pets - whether you decide to leave or stay in the relationship. This person can provide emotional support as well as:
- Help you identify your rights
- Help you learn about the court system
- Help you find the information about the services that you require
- Connect you with someone who can go to court with you
- Help you with safety planning
If these types of services would be useful to you or you'd like to know more about them, please call the Today Centre at 780-455-6880.
