Child Support Program
 
     
  The Dr. Margaret Savage Crisis Centre offers support to children who have been exposed to family violence.
Through the use of crafts, games, videos, activities and group discussion we teach children:
  • that it is okay to talk about the violence
  • that they are not alone
  • together we explore ways they can stay safe
 
  What we offer  
 
  • support for children
  • limited child care
  • age appropriate play equipment and age appropriate information on violence and safety planning.
