Across BC, anti-violence service providers have reported an increase in gender-based violence along with a corresponding demand for help as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to UN Women, with 90 countries in lockdown, four billion people were sheltering at home because of COVID-19 during the month of April. While the lockdown was a necessary protective measure, unfortunately, it also brought with it a different danger since lockdowns increase isolation as well as time spent with an abusive partner. With tensions mounting from health and financial concerns, a lockdown can become a perfect storm for controlling, violent behaviour behind closed doors.
Sources Trauma Counselling Program is offering a Coping Skills Group this summer for people impacted by interpersonal violence, historical abuse and sexual assault. This Group is open to all people who identify as female including CIS, Transwomen, Two-Spirit & Non-Binary.
With more people staying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, instances of domestic and interpersonal violence have increased. In response to this, Sources Trauma Counselling Program has launched a confidential telephone line for victims: 604-541-4826.
