At our last meeting, Sunriser Barbara Ridley delivered a powerful and personal presentation on intimate partner violence (IPV). Barb, the Executive Director of Sudbury Cedar Place Women and Family Shelter, explained the difference between domestic violence and intimate partner violence. She also shared shocking statistics about the prevalence of IPV in Canada, Ontario and here in the Greater Sudbury region. In addition to helping women and children through the shelter, Barb also guided her own daughter through the lengthy and emotional process of leaving an abusive partner. Barb shared a safety plan that can be put in place to help support families affected by IPV in addition to other community resources available through local shelters, Genevra House and Cedar Place, and the Salvation Army. Thank you Barb for sharing an intimate look at IPV in our community and across Ontario.
