The Northwestern Health Unit plans to launch a new anti-
abuse program in the New Year.
Public health nurses working at sexual health clinics in
Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances and Sioux Lookout will ask
clients over the age of 12, if they’re being abused.
Spokesperson Kathleen Fitzgerald says the program will
help protect women from emotional, physical and sexual
abuse.
Q:”…question.” 24 seconds
Training will start in the Spring of 2008.
Most of the people who visit the clinics are women, but
male clients will also be screened for violence.
