Intimate partner violence is a major public health issue that affects many. Those looking for supports are often faced with challenges including unmet mental health needs.
As Canada’s first intimate partner-focused mental health platform, Mhaven aims to bridge the gap between intimate partner violence and mental health, providing pathways to culturally safe, trauma- and violence-informed supports and care.
The new hub provides support for a wide range of users, including survivors, those concerned about their behaviour, supporters, and healthcare providers.
What Mhaven offers:
- Support Resources – Providing access to information and tools that can help that they can use to support themselves, patients and clients, or a loved one.
- Service Directory – A list of in-person and virtual services across the Simcoe and Muskoka regions which include crisis supports, counselling and more.
- Training Programs – Mhaven will offer training programs for survivors to contribute their expertise to research and partnership initiatives, and for mental health care providers to recognize and respond to intimate partner violence
