Agencies helping women, children at risk of violence seeing return to more normal levels
WATERLOO REGION — Agencies that help women and children experiencing abuse are seeing more people reaching out for help compared to when the pandemic started, but the worry remains that some are still at risk.
They urge everyone in Waterloo Region to watch out for each other to prevent a rise in family violence during this unprecedented and stressful time.
“There is so much that can be done just by reaching out to people,” said Karen Spencer, executive director of Family & Children’s Services of the Waterloo Region.
