A local organization is launching a new program to try to reduce instances of domestic violence.
North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society (NOYFSS) will roll out the new Making Relationshiops Safe – Counselling and Support for Men program in the fall.
The program is designed for men aged 18 or older who have used or at risk of using violence in relationships by offering a space to explore heathier ways of relating and building non-violent, trusting family dynamics.
“With growing calls across the province to recognize gender-based violence as an epidemic, programs like Making Relationships Safe play a vital role in prevention,” Dean Francks, Executive Director of NOYFSS, said.
