HomeFront’s Case Managers’ goal is to support clients throughout their journey. Our Case Management team understands the complexity of domestic violence and provides support that is tailored to meet the needs of each individual client. We are trauma informed, and highly skilled in working with vulnerable populations. We work with clients to overcome barriers that are impeding on their ability to receive help. Our team is diverse, multi-lingual, well-versed in resourcing, and able to assist from the moment a charge comes forward, until the conclusion of a domestic violence sentence.
Our Case Managers become involved when a domestic violence charge is laid and provide insight, support, and court updates as the matter moves through our Specialized Domestic Violence Court. We engage in ongoing risk assessments and consistently check in on clients’ safety and engage in safety planning. Additionally, we play a vital role in relaying the clients’ interests and wishes to the Crown Prosecutors office to be taken into consideration. Our aim is to ensure that our clients are not feeling left out of the criminal justice process. Once the matter is complete in court, HomeFront Case Managers remain involved until the end of a sentence, or until safety is optimized. Ultimately, the level of engagement is in the hands of the client; Case Managers are here to empower those impacted by domestic violence.
