Children Who Witness Abuse

The CWWA program involves education and counselling aimed at ultimately breaking the cycle of violence against women and children.

Sexual Abuse Intervention Program

At NKLCSS we provide a number of direct and indirect specialized services to children and youth who have been sexually abused; to their caregivers and families and to others in their day-to-day environment.
