This Is Not Your Fault
Violence against women takes many shapes and forms. Trained staff in our member organizations are ready to support you - whatever your unique situation may be. You do not have to visit them in a shelter to access help. If you can do so safely, call or text them now and talk about your options for dealing with a situation where you feel unsafe.
Here is a resource map to help locate what you need. It is provided by the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women.
