DIRECTORY OF Services for Victims of Abuse in Communities In 2016, PLEIS-NB created a publication called: New Brunswick Directory of Services for Victims of Abuse that provided a general overview of services for victims. However, it did not capture the full range and diversity of services and resources that may be available in First Nation communities. To address this, the Public Legal Education and NEW BRUNSWICK Information Service of New Brunswick (PLEIS-NB), in collaboration with Victim Services and Public Safety, produced DIRECTORY OF this informative, bilingual and largely online directory for victims of abuse in First Nation Communities. PLEIS-NB is a non-profit, charitable organization that educates the public about the law. It is funded by Justice , Services the New Brunswick Law Foundation, and the Department of Justice and Public Safety. A fillable survey was emailed to all band councils across New Brunswick collecting information, suggestions and for Victims of Abuse in feedback on what should be included in the directory. We conducted research and sought input of many individuals First Nations Communities on potential design features including Gignoo Transition House. We also consulted with the Women’s Equality Branch (ECO) and Aboriginal Affairs Secretariat. Finally, we hosted a brainstorming session (talking circle) with key stakeholders in the Miramichi region where we travelled to meet with service providers, including Domestic Violence Outreach, Aboriginal Victim Services, and the local transition house. There were participants from several nearby First Nations communities. This new Directory offers a variety of traditional services that support victims, such as drumming groups, talking circles and so on.

We wish to thank the many individuals and organizations who have contributed to the development of this directory.
