National Clearinghouse on Family Violence
The National Clearinghouse on Family Violence is a national
resource centre for all Canadians seeking information and
solutions to violence within the family and new resources
being used to address it. Professionals, other front-line
workers, researchers and community groups need to know what
their colleagues and counterparts are doing across the country.
By sharing the latest research findings and information on
all aspects of prevention, protection and treatment, the Clearinghouse
helps Canadian communities work towards the eventual elimination
of all forms of family violence.

Access to Justice Network (ACJNet)
This site is being continually updated. We have found it
to be a very valuable resource for all kinds of information
to do with family violence. It is a Canadian justice and legal
service which opens doors to legislation, people and organisations,
publications, databases and discussions forums on justice
and legal issues. These resources are prganized in a very
user-friendly manner under subject headings such as aboriginal
people, people with disabilities, crime prevention, women,
youth, etc. Whatever you are loolking for you will find it
at this site.
