Today CEDAR was honoured to attend the 2nd Annual IPV Fraser Valley Meet and Greet, hosted by the Abbotsford Intimate Partner Violence Unit.
While we are disheartened that such conversations still need to exist, we were inspired by the continued outpouring of community support for finding solutions to intimate partner violence. We are grateful to work in a community where non-profits, police, Crown Counsel, forensic nurses, academics and survivors can all work together to preserve safety and promote healing.
CEDAR works to ensure that the women we support at The Nest shelter, and in encampments through our CEER team, know their rights and what pathways are available to them if they are victimized.
We are very grateful for the opportunity to do this important work in such a coordinated and connected community 💜
