Family violence counselling is centered on the unique circumstances of the survivor or victim. Emotional support and guidance are provided in a non-judgmental and strengths-based modality in which individuals are met where they are at. Based on assessment, safety planning is developed and encouraged. Throughout the counselling process, individuals learn and reflect on different topics like the cycle of violence, secondary abuse, the ways survivors resist violence, and the cultural and socioeconomic factors that led to their situation and the ways they impact their lives.
