Leaving Violence Program

Support to take the next step.

The Leaving Violence Program (LVP) can provide help if you’re trying to leave a partner who hurts you. We can support you after you have left, or if you are planning to leave.

The Leaving Violence Program can assist with things you might need like transport, food, medicine, clothes, furniture, paying rent or fixing a car. You’ll also get up to 12 weeks of support with things like setting up a bank account, making a safety plan, finding legal assistance, health services and other things you might need.
