FearIsNotLove

🏠 Happy Global Day of Parents! Today on June 1st, we celebrate parents and caregivers of all backgrounds and family dynamics 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦

🌎 Global Day of Parents recognizes the important role parents play in nurturing, guiding, and supporting children. Their care and support, parents help build and maintain healthy relationships, as well as supportive and safe communities for everyone 💜

At FearIsNotLove, we believe everyone has the right to feel safe, respected, supported and loved in their relationships and at home. Through our programs and services, we work alongside individuals and families impacted by domestic violence and abuse, helping them find safety, healing, and hope.

💌 Visit FearIsNotLove.ca to learn more about the support, services, and resources available in our community.

Every human has the right to feel safe, respected, supported and loved 💜

FearIsNotLove works to create safety and healing for those impacted by abuse through a wide range of compassionate and accessible services. Grounded in the belief that love should never hurt, we aim to build awareness, provide support, and drive change in how communities understand and respond to domestic violence.

Fear Is Not Love — Fear has no place in healthy, loving relationships.

No matter who you are, how you identify, or who you love, you deserve safety, respect and support. We are here for anyone experiencing domestic violence and abuse, and for those using abusive behaviours who want to make a change.

You are not alone.

🔎 MYTHS AND BARRIERS 🔍

Domestic violence and abuse are often misunderstood because of harmful myths and misconceptions that do not reflect the realities of this dangerous and complex issue.

This often leads to stigma, including being judged, blamed, or disbelieved, and creates barriers to seeking support.

By learning the facts, challenging harmful myths, and understanding the complexities of abuse, we can help create safer, more supportive communities for individuals and families impacted by domestic violence 💬

Abuse is about power and control. It is deliberate behaviour used to dominate, control, or harm another person. People who use abuse act against the will of their victims, who never ask for or choose to be abused. We believe that abuse is a choice. Choosing to not abuse is also a choice.

Every human has the right to feel safe, respected, supported and loved 💜 We’re here to help.
