We associate the holiday season with celebration, family gatherings, gift giving and lights. Unfortunately, we also need to remember that during the season there is an increase in domestic violence.

If you need support reach out. You don’t have to be alone.

FFAW has Women’s Advocates across the province who can help by offering support and providing information on services available. To find a Women’s Advocate visit our website. Or to locate a shelter, visit THANL’s (Transition House Association of Newfoundland & Labrador) website at www.THANL.org.
