CVTS offers the PEACE Program for children and youth, aged 3 to 18, who have experienced and/or witnessed abuse.
The program offers:
  • Individual counselling for children and youth
  • Group counselling for children and youth
  • Presentations to the community on the effects of exposure to abuse
In 8-12 sessions, children, youth and their caregivers who access the program will learn to set goals and develop new skills to help them cope with the impact of their experiences.

The program helps children and youth to:
  • Identify their feelings and express them in healthy ways
  • Recognize their strengths and increase their self-confidence
  • Understand what abuse is and that they are not responsible
  • Identify support networks and develop a safety plan
  • Explore stereotypes and myths about relationships and about violence in the media
  • Develop conflict resolution skills
