The National Clearinghouse on Family Violence (NCFV) is a one-stop source for information on violence and abuse within the family. It operates on behalf of the 15 partner departments, agencies and Crown corporations of the federal Family Violence Initiative.
The NCFV collects, develops and disseminates resources on prevention, protection and treatment. Resources are available free of charge, in English and French, in hard copy or online, and in alternative formats upon request.
By increasing awareness, the NCFV encourages Canadian communities to become involved in reducing the occurrence of family violence.
The NCFV does not provide social services, legal advice or counselling support. If you are experiencing abuse or neglect, or know someone who is, please visit our GET HELP page for information on where to seek assistance in your community - such as distress lines, child welfare services, shelters, sexual assault centres, family resource centres and emergency services.
