Services/Programs
The Central-West Committee Against Violence Inc. is a non-profit,
volunteer organization,
formed in 1991 to provide
education, awareness and training on violence to the public; act
as
advocates for victims; and provide victims with support, safety
planning, and referrals to
appropriate agencies. In addition, we provide various
resources to interested organizations and
individuals throughout the
province.
People
We Serve
Our committee serves communities in Central West Newfoundland (from Norris Arm
North to the Baie Verte
Peninsula and all points in between). We believe that
the social and cultural roots of violence are based
on inequality.
While women, children and the elderly are more likely to be victims of
violence, factors
such as disability, sexual orientation, economic status
or racial origin can place them at even higher risk.
Without unconditional
acceptance and support, the risk of violence for these people will not be
decreased.
We believe that violence is a choice and is preventable; there is strong evidence that
effective
intervention can reduce and prevent violence.
Funding
Although, we
are funded under the Violence Prevention Initiative,
the following government partners provide in-kind services, such as:
Central Health Authority- Health & Community Services and Newfoundland &
Labrador Housing Corporation.
We also pursue various funding programs to carry out a variety of
anti-violence projects.
