You Are Not Alone: A Toolkit for Aboriginal Women Escaping Domestic Violence


You Are Not Alone is a supportive resource created to help Indigenous women who are experiencing domestic violence. It provides practical information, tools, and guidance to help women recognize abuse, explore their options, and take steps toward safety.


Domestic violence is often a pattern of control that can include physical, emotional, financial, sexual, and psychological abuse. This resource helps identify warning signs, understand abusive dynamics, and develop safety plans.


The toolkit also recognizes the impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma on Indigenous women and families. Understanding these broader factors is an important part of healing and building strength.


Family Service Regina offers free, confidential, and culturally responsive support for individuals and families navigating domestic violence.
