– Family Violence

Impact: https://impact.sagesse.org/ is a province-wide collective impact initiative aimed at eradicating family and sexual violence.

Sagesse: https://www.sagesse.org/ is a domestic violence organization, which also provides the Backbone support for Impact. Sagesse has established domestic violence screening, which mediators, lawyers and other family law professionals can access. This is a process where clients complete a questionnaire, a Sagesse clinical team member reviews the responses, assesses the risk level of domestic violence and power dynamics, and clients receive a follow-up letter or phone call. For more information contact screening@sagesse.org or by phone at 403-234-7337
