Workplace Domestic Violence Program

July 1, 2020

1 in 3 employees across Canada have experienced domestic violence. Domestic violence is not restricted to the home and often extends into the workplace. As families across Canada have retreated into their homes to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, many victims are now faced with increased isolation, at times with their abuser.
