PEI Collaborative Systemic Response to Family Violence March 2015 - March 2018
Justice Options for Women, in collaboration with Women’s Network PEI, has funding from Status of Women Canada to develop and pilot a model for a collaborative response for service providers in Prince Edward Island to clients experiencing violence in an intimate relationship. We are working in close collaboration with the Province of Prince Edward Island to meet this mandate, and are exploring promising practices in collaborative response, with a view to building on success in other jurisdictions to create a process that meets the needs of clients and service providers in PEI.
This project will work to overcome institutional barriers facing women who are experiencing domestic violence by reducing silos and increasing communication and collaboration among services providers, agencies, and departments.
