During COVID-19, the Men In Change Program remains committed to supporting men who want to take a step toward healthier relationships by preventing the reoccurrence of violence in their families. Services are available online and by phone – our priority is to provide meaningful support and to minimize social isolation during this difficult time:

- Individual counselling support continues to be offered via phone for men who face language barriers and may need interpretation services
