Building a Safer Community for Those Affected by Violence
Community Based
We help adult and child victims who have experienced domestic violence get the help they need by co-ordinating support and services under one roof without having the client repeatedly tell their experience over and over again.
York Region Centre for Community Safety helps navigate the justice, health and social services system. By creating a single entry point to multiple services, the client will receive “wrap-around” support from a collaborative team of professionals who come to the Centre, and offer choices that will fit the client’s needs or experiences.
All Under One Roof
The wide-ranging programs offered by each one of our associates are delivered right on site at “The Hub”.
Our objectives include:
• Increased access to information on available services at YRCCS
• Improved and simplified access to services
• Improved access to a coordinated plan for follow-up support.
Each client is greeted and informed of the scope of services available at YRCCS. Clients share their experience with our case worker and then the process of coordinating services begins.
Accessible
We are dedicated to building a safer community for those affected by domestic violence and to help those victims at a critical time of need. We are child-friendly, and respectful of diverse needs. We provide child-minding and transit tickets to help you access the services you need. If you know someone who has or is experiencing domestic violence, let them know about York Region Centre for Community Safety.
