As part of the provincial government’s work to address interpersonal violence and abuse, $634,000 is being handed over to United Way, in partnership with the federal government.

That funding supports 211 Saskatchewan and the new Re:CONNECT helpline, which supports families and individuals impacted by interpersonal violence and abuse.
211 Saskatchewan is a one-stop service for people seeking a wide range of supports. It’s a database of over 6,000 community, social, non-clinical health, and government services. 211 Saskatchewan Director Kristin Nelson says Re:CONNECT offers people a free, secure and non-judgemental support system that empowers them to rebuild healthy relationships and communication, ensuring they never have to face challenges alone.

Of the $634,000 in funding, approximately $500,000 is being dedicated to Re:CONNECT in partnership with Women and Gender Equality Canada, and $134,000 to 211 Saskatchewan.
