Child Abuse, Well-Being, and Welfare - Dufferin

Programs and services for individuals and families who are coping with trauma arising from child abuse, and which help protect infants, children, and youth experiencing abuse or who are at risk of abuse. Child abuse includes neglect, abandonment, or emotional, physical or sexual abuse.
