Changing Ways

Truth and Reconciliation is an ongoing responsibility.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’re taking time to learn about the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools and colonialism, reflect on what reconciliation means, and consider how we can contribute to meaningful change.

At Changing Ways, we continue this work by learning from Indigenous partners, working alongside communities through our Safe at Home and Community Engagement, and reflecting on how we can continue to improve our programs and services.

We encourage you to take time to learn, listen, reflect, and act on this important day.

We’re so proud and honoured to have been part of Equip Health's project "Doing Hard Things Together: Trauma- & Violence-Informed Care to Support Those Using Violence in Relationships"!

Our team had the opportunity to help write, design, and inform the curriculum and tools alongside an incredible team, and are grateful for the opportunity to share our knowledge.

The program is designed to help staff in the gender-based violence sector and others working with people who use violence understand and apply Trauma- and Violence-Informed Care (TVIC) to their important work.

This project is a great example of what’s possible when frontline experience, community knowledge, and shared expertise come together. We’re grateful to everyone who helped bring this work to life and hope these resources support meaningful change across the sector.

We’re grateful to MPP Terence Kernaghan for taking the time to visit our office, connect with our team, and learn more about the work happening in our community.

We really appreciated his openness, thoughtful questions, and willingness to listen and engage in conversation about the realities and challenges we see on the frontlines of gender-based violence prevention.

Stronger, safer communities are built when politicians, community partners, and frontline organizations come together to listen, learn, and take action. Thank you for making the time to connect with us and for your continued support of this important work!

What a great day at the Rural Family & Friends Block Party in Strathroy last week!

Thank you to the Women’s Rural Resource Centre for bringing families and community together. It was wonderful to connect with so many local families and see kids learning, playing, and building new skills!

Early education, skill-building, and healthy relationship development are important parts of Changing Ways’ prevention priorities, and we’re grateful to partner with organizations across our communities to make opportunities like this possible!

Closing out Pride Month with some of our favourite moments! 🌈

We take pride in standing with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, offering inclusive services, and advocating for everyone to experience safe, healthy, and fulfilling relationships.

We will continue working alongside our community partners to build a more inclusive future and push forward meaningful change where everyone feels respected, supported, and valued!

Happy Canada Day! 🍁

Changing Ways will be closed for Canada Day and will reopen our services on July 2.

Today, we pause to celebrate this place we call home; to honour the original caretakers of these lands, reflect on the stories that have shaped us, connect with each other, and imagine our bright future.

If you need support while we're closed, dial 2-1-1. See the next slide for more information.

As Pride Month comes to a close, we want to express our appreciation to everyone who has shared their experiences, celebrated with their communities, and helped create opportunities for learning and growth.

At Changing Ways, we believe everyone deserves healthy relationships grounded in respect, safety, and belonging. We're proud to offer diverse programming that recognizes the unique experiences of the people we serve.

Although June is ending, inclusion isn't limited to one month. We look forward to celebrating with our community as London Pride festivities begin next month. Happy Pride!

What an honour to celebrate at Joan's Place yesterday as the Ontario Bar Association presented its 2026 President's Award to the London Justice Centre.

Throughout the event, one message stood out: meaningful change happens through partnership. Speakers emphasized that the success of the London Justice Centre would not be possible without strong community collaboration and the unwavering dedication of its case managers. Changing Ways is honoured to contribute to this work through case management and the specialised groups we provide for young adults brought into the Justice Centre. It is a privilege to work alongside so many committed partners in support of individuals and families in our community.

Congratulations to everyone involved. This recognition reflects the incredible work taking place every day and the impact it continues to have across our community.
