Check out the London Family Court Clinic in London, On (www.lfcc.on.ca).
Links on that site to proceedings of Second Internation Conference on
Children Exposed to Family Violence.  Good Luck.

Subject: Programs for kids who have witnessed violence


Hello everyone,
I'm participating in a service providers group in metro Halifax who are
concerned about the lack of programs for children and youth who have
witnessed family violence.  We have a few (read not adequate) services for
men and women but not one for kids.

We are in the midst of writing a proposal for funding and need to explore
"best practices" in this area. Any suggestions??  Information on individual
and group programs would be most helpful.
