Did you know 27% of Canadians report experiencing physical or sexual abuse before the age of 15?

This past year alone, we supported 1,088 child and youth victims of abuse and crime, and 827 caregivers, in Waterloo Region, Guelph, and Wellington County.

When we walk with young survivors and their families through the justice system, their trauma is reduced, healing begins, and futures become much brighter.
