The Domestic Violence Intervention Unit offers support to families who receive police services for domestic violence incidents that occur in Winnipeg, but that do not result in charges or arrests. Specially trained workers help people at risk of abuse in relationships to stop the cycle of violence.

Services include:

  • creating a safe, supportive environment  to talk about the situation

  • connecting families to appropriate community resources through referral, advocacy and co-ordination of community resources

  • providing short-term emotional support and referral to counselling

  • creating a protection plan to improve safety

  • offering information about and help with orders of protection

  • providing service to both partners where it is appropriate and safe to do so
