Communication is essential for safety and well-being of people experiencing FDV

First Nations Support
Domestic & Family Violence
Clients experiencing family and domestic violence often face economic hardship after leaving unsafe situations. In many cases, perpetrators may damage, confiscate, or render phones unusable, leaving clients without a safe way to communicate.
Access to a working phone is essential for safety. It allows clients to stay connected with support workers, crisis services, legal supports, and emergency assistance, and enables regular safety check-ins and safety planning.
For clients living in remote or regional areas, phone communication can be even more critical, as services and supports may be geographically distant and harder to access in person.
Without reliable phone access, clients can become isolated from the services that help keep them safe. Ensuring clients have access to a safe and working phone is therefore an important part of supporting safety and effective safety planning.
