• Family Violence is an intentional action or lack of action, from one member of a family/intimate relationship to another, that results in physical injury, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation.
• The violence may be a one-time or occasional occurrence, or part of an ongoing pattern of behaviours.
• Indigenous people report being victims of IPV twice as much as non-Indigenous Canadians (10%).
• Those reporting as a visible minority or immigrant did not report higher rates of IPV than other Canadians.
• People in same-sex relationships report higher rates of IPV. Those identifying as gay and lesbian report experiencing IPV twice as much as those in heterosexual relationships. Those identifying as bisexual report experiencing partner violence 4 times the rate as those in heterosexual relationships.
• In any situation of abuse, a person is either clearly a perpetrator or a victim.
• Offenders are fully responsible for the abuse and victims are not responsible at all.
• Those who use abusive behaviour have all the power and victims have no power.
• As helpers to families in situations of abuse, we need to prioritize the needs of the victims and be clearly on their side, morally speaking (and not on the side of those who behave abusively).

° Formal assessments° Duty to inform and report abuse
• Where would more in-depth assessment & intervention occur?
• Providing services in a collaborative and integrated fashion
° Do community members know where to go or who to call? ° Do service providers communicate and share resources?
• What are the norms or values in a community that need to be shaped to increase members’ safety?
DEFINITION BY PIERRE ALLARD, PRESIDENT OF JUST EQUIPPING (2008)
“Restorative justice says that crime is much more than the breaking of a law. It is the breaking down of human relationships in a community of people where real people have harmed real people. And the question to ask is: How can we make things better?”
