Individual Follow-Up with Ex-Residents: The main objective of the individual follow-up is to provide support to those who wish to explore the consequences of domestic violence in more depth. This service of 5 to 10 individual meetings is offered to ex-residents and women referred by the Police Referral Protocol.
