Concerned about a friend, family member, or someone in your community?
While we may need to speak directly with the person experiencing abuse, we can equip you with resources, guidance, and information to support someone you’re worried about.
The services provided by Women’s Resources are available to:
- Abused women and their children
- All of our services are located in the City of Kawartha Lakes, Ontario.
Here’s what you need to know:
Abuse against women comes in many forms and can happen to any woman regardless of age, race, education, or socio-economic status.
There are many forms of abuse including emotional/psychological, physical, sexual, financial and spiritual. Abusers often isolate women from their friends, family and community.
All our services are free and confidential.
