How We Help
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
The York Region Centre for Community Safety (YRCCS) is a client-centered, co-located service delivery hub for survivors of intimate partner violence/family violence/human trafficking to receive wraparound, holistic supports. We are a ‘one stop shop’ to access multiple services.
Services at YRCCS are available to all survivors of domestic/intimate partner/sexual/family violence and human trafficking who are in need of information and help in finding resources, safety, and hope for themselves and their children. Through our partner agencies, a range of services are available to help survivors choose which services will best assist them in creating a path toward safety and healing. Survivors are not required to report their abuse to police in order to access services. YRCCS is committed to providing culturally and linguistically responsive services, where survivors are respected and empowered to make the best choices for themselves.
