Centre national d'information sur la violence dans la famille, Agence de santé publique du Canada

The Family Violence Initiative (FVI), within the Public Health Agency of Canada, is comprised of 15 government departments and a joint committee with provincial and territorial governments that work on various policy, programme and research activities aimed at reducing family violence. The FVI addresses all forms of abuse within relationships of kinship, intimacy, dependency and trust. The FVI works on issues such as child maltreatment, intimate partner violence, elder abuse, and dating violence; specific populations such as abuse of persons with disabilities, Aboriginal peoples, new immigrants; risk factors such as poor mental health, poverty, and homelessness; and across the continuum of violence from prevention in the health system to intervention through the justice and corrections systems.
