partner to attend
counselling?
Many women want to support their partners
in making better choices and behaving nonviolently. It is important to remember that
his behaviour and choices are his
responsibility.

your needs and your children’s needs are
looked after. Whether you are together or
apart, everyone can start a new day.

A staff person from A New Day at The
Tree of Peace Friendship Centre will be in
contact with you. You will be offered
information about the program.
No program can guarantee behaviour
change.
We will offer you referrals for counselling,
support and legal services for you and
your children if needed.
If you want, we can let you know about
the length and content of the program
but we will not tell you about
conversations that we have with your
partner.
You have the right to your privacy and you
do not have to respond to any questions.
We will not share any information with
your partner if you do not want us to.

• We all have a role to play and a voice
to use in saying violence is unacceptable in
our lives, families and communities.
• Everyone can begin a new day - together
and apart.
• When we learn peaceful ways
to communicate and problem solve, families
and communities will be stronger.
