Violence exists in our community—and IWAV is here to help.

Sometimes people reach out because something doesn’t feel right, even if they don’t know exactly how to describe it.

Maybe you feel unsure in your relationship.
Maybe you’re walking on eggshells.
Maybe you’re trying to figure out your options or don’t know who to talk to.

You do not need to have the “right words” or be certain about what’s happening to reach out.

IWAV Outreach Services offers free and confidential support for women—including trans women—as well as non-binary and LGBTQ+ community members across Salt Spring Island and the Southern Gulf Islands. We also support caregivers seeking help for children and youth.
