Executive Director Karen Hunter says they want to ensure everyone understands that abuse of any form will not be tolerated.
She says, “There’s a lot of support and help in the community. I think it’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure that these types of things don’t happen in their places of work, in schools. We talk a lot about bullying and certainly behind closed doors in the privacy of one’s home.”
Hunter says help is always available, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week through the Centre’s crisis hotline.
You can reach the Women’s Centre by calling 519-354-6360 or 1-800-265-0598, or stop by the Centre itself at 20 Sandys Street in Chatham.
