                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.
