Our objective is to provide community-based prevention and educational
support for perpetrators of violence against women (abusers) who are brain injury survivors using a Transformative Justice lens.
Research shows that up to 53% of abusers have a pre-existing brain injury.
This program is about creating social change and is not a justification for the behaviour of abusers. It is a process of providing education and learning to abusers who are also survivors of brain injury, in an effort to reduce recidivism and break the cycle of violence against women.
The goals for this program are:
- Promote accountability of abusers.
- Promote empathy in abusers.
- Offer education and compensatory tools to abusers/BI survivors aiming to prevent the perpetuation of violence.
- Reduce recidivism rates.
At this time, this initiative is in the early stages of planning and is not ready for implementation.
