The Northwestern Health Unit has launched a new program
that will help protect women from emotional, physical and
sexual abuse.
In the New Year, public health nurses working at the
NWHU’s sexual health clinics in Kenora, Dryden, Fort
Frances and Sioux Lookout will be trained to ask all
patients over the age of 12 is they’re being abused.
Kathleen Fitzgerald says they’ll start their training in
the Spring of 2008.

Most of the people who visit the clinics are women, but
male clients will also be screened for violence.
