Family Violence Prevention Where can I find information about family violence prevention?The Premier’s Action Committee on Family Violence Prevention is a 23-member committee appointed by the Premier in 1995 to implement a five-year strategy on family violence prevention. The committee, chaired by former Lieutenant Governor, the Hon. Marion Reid, consists of representatives from 17 community groups and 6 government departments.
The committee works closely with police, municipalities, and community organizations to address a variety of issues related to violence within families and communities, including domestic violence, child abuse, and elder abuse. It provides support to crisis centres, sponsors workshops and training sessions, offers public education, and is involved in developing policy/protocols related to services to victims of family violence.
