Family Violence

October 18, 2010 - Today, the Minister of Health and Social services highlighted two initiatives that the Department of Health and Social Services has spearheaded with the Coalition Against Family Violence as part of the NWT Family Violence Action Plan Phase II.

Mr. Speaker, family violence is a deliberate use of force to control another person. Abusers do not just lose their tempers or simply have problems with anger management. They choose to hurt and control their victims.

And everyone should be enjoying these new freedoms – spending time with their friendship circle, getting outside, or enjoying some of the businesses they’ve been missing over the last couple months.
