Nova Scotia’s 211NS Men’s Intervention and Support Response Pilot Program is initiating a program to offer 6-months of extended support to men dealing with life challenges, with a particular focus on response to domestic, family and gender-based violence (GBV).

The helpline has seen a surge in calls, rising exponentially each week, since the start of the pandemic.

The funding will help the organization manage the increased call volume until March 31, 2021.

This 19-month project will address capacity shortfalls and increased demand created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to the increased capacity, AWHL will be able to increase the number of referrals to other services and the ability to train the staff to support abused women and children’s needs during the pandemic.
