Web Links

Since our introduction to the world of technology a mere two years ago, we have found the Internet to be a valuable source of information on current efforts in the area of Family Violence world-wide. We "surf" the internet almost daily, looking into what other organizations are offering and where we can fill the gaps in research and project development. We have decided to share our findings with our readers and encourage you to call any and all sites to our attention which are not mentioned. There are hundreds out there to choose from so we have selected just a few that we have found particularly compelling, or useful.

Canadian Council on Social Development
The Canadian Council on Social Development (CCSD) is a national, self-sustaining, not-for-profit organization. Since 1920, the Council has been advancing social programs and policies to serve children, families and communities - programs that are central to the well-being of our society.

In recent years, our work has focused on the research and analysis of social and economic trends and their effects on the lives of Canadians. Our research is available through popularly-written publications, thus helping to increase public participation in shaping our country's future.
