Community
health centres

experience with domestic violence and some will be experienced
working with same sex domestic violence. To contact your nearest
community health centre, look in the white pages under C.

not all, have designated domestic violence counsellors. However,
they are not spread evenly across the areas and you do need

its services. Contact your nearest community health centre
