At VLMFSS, we want to work together to end family violence. We believe that every woman and child has the right to feel safe in their home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our vision is to create a nurturing and inclusive society where each refugee and immigrant woman and child is safe and has access to appropriate resources and support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through education, prevention and intervention we strive to create an environment of empowerment, healing and lasting positive change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVLMFSS helped me to start a new life in the most difficult time. I do not have anybody close to me in Canada, no relatives or friends I can turn to for help. This organization helped me in not feeling lonely, helpless and supportless. Now my daughter and I feel happy, I regained my self-esteem. Thank you.\u201d<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let’s work together to end family violence<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our mission is to provide comprehensive support, education, and intervention services to empower refugee and racialized immigrant women and children who have experienced family violence. Through a holistic approach that combines prevention, advocacy, and culturally sensitive care, we aim to break the cycle of violence and create a safe space where survivors can heal, learn, and thrive. By collaborating with diverse communities and partners, we strive to raise awareness, promote policy changes, and build a future where every individual can live free from the shadows of abuse and find their path towards a brighter tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VLMFSS provides supportive counseling, emotional and practical support services to women, children and their families in various stages of escaping violence (intimate partner, domestic violence\/familial violence and gender-based violence) and throughout their interactions with the legal and social systems. We provide educational programs to create awareness and to mobilize ethno-cultural communities to explore and strategize prevention of violence. We seek to create cultural responsiveness amongst professionals and the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
