The Organization for the Prevention of Violence is a non-partisan, and expert-led non-government organization devoted to public safety.
We produce applied research to improve our understanding of issues related to violence and community safety.
Our team of human service professionals are here to assist and support you with counselling, resources, advice, and advocacy.
If you’re concerned about the beliefs or actions of someone close to you, our team will support you and guide you to appropriate resources.
If you want to move away from harmful beliefs, our team of mentors, counsellors and human service workers can help you make positive changes in your life.
We engage in research, prevention, and intervention-based activities that aim to enhance community and public safety.
We work closely with community-based organizations, human service providers, and all levels of government in pursuit of this goal.
We are a diverse group of experts, practitioners, and researchers with experience in addressing challenges related to community and public safety.
