Welcome, we are glad you are taking this step.

Your safety and well-being are important. This two-part assessment is designed to help you assess potential risks related to gender-based violence (GBV) in any type of relationship. It provides a safe, confidential space for you to reflect on your experiences, understand your situation better, and access resources and support if needed.

Gender-based violence (GBV) refers to any physical, psychological, or otherwise harmful act directed at an individual based on gender. GBV can include physical, verbal, psychological, sexual, financial/economic, digital, and spiritual violence inflicted in public and private spaces.

Please note:
~ This tool is not a diagnostic tool but rather an initial screening to help you identify areas of concern.
~ Your answers will not be shared with anyone unless you decide to reach out to a support service.
~ The tool is designed to be anonymous and confidential. We do not store any personal information.
~ Once you complete the risk screening, you will receive your results and be guided to a follow-up assessment to help us better understand your needs.

This tool is brought to you by Women's Health in Women's Hands Community Health Centre. Adapted from the WITHWomen – IPV Risk Assessment Tool developed by Dr. Patricia O’Campo from MAP Centre of Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael's Hospital.
