Centre de Prévention de la Violence

What Centre de Prévention de la Violence does

Centre de Prévention de la Violence is a registered non-profit charitable organization headquartered in Sainte-Anne-de-Kent, New Brunswick, Canada, founded in 1997. It provides a continuum of violence prevention and victim support services to the Southeast region of New Brunswick, serving female and male victims of intimate partner and family violence, children and teens exposed to or victimized by sexual abuse, and individuals exhibiting violent or aggressive behaviours. Its service portfolio comprises emergency shelter (Serenity House / Maison Sérénité), subsidized transitional housing (Maison Oasis, five units), a specialized child/youth sexual abuse centre (Centre Boreal), an outreach and crisis intervention program, long-term personalized therapy, support groups, and a community training curriculum covering elder abuse, workplace violence, conjugal/family violence, sexual assault, and dating violence.

The organization's underlying infrastructure is operational rather than technology-based: physical facilities (shelter, housing units, partner-aligned Centre Boreal), a 24-hour crisis helpline, a bilingual (French/English) website, and referral pathways through partner agencies including the New Brunswick Department of Social Development and Emergency Social Services. There is no proprietary technology stack, software product, or digital platform disclosed; service delivery is human-led by clinical and social-work staff. Operational throughput is reported at more than 800 interventions annually and approximately 50 women and children received at Serenity House per year.

The business model is that of a community-based registered charity. All client-facing services are free of charge. Funding is sourced from individual and corporate donations (via the CanadaHelps platform and community events such as golf tournaments), government grants (notably Employment and Social Development Canada), and interministerial protocol-based resourcing tied to the Centre Boreal partnership. There is no sales motion, no product pricing, no recurring contract revenue, and no equity capital structure; governance rests with a volunteer board of directors formed in 1998.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• John Howard Society of Canada: Canadian non-profit addressing crime prevention, offender rehabilitation, and community safety. Comparable focus on violence prevention and behavioural intervention for perpetrators, though mandate spans broader criminal justice issues.
• Canadian Women's Foundation: National public foundation funding violence prevention programs and shelters across Canada. Comparable mission; functions more as funder and policy advocate rather than direct service provider.
• YWCA Canada: National federation of YWCAs delivering shelter, housing, and violence-prevention services for women and children across Canada. Directly comparable mission and service mix, but operates at national scale rather than a single community.

Direct peers

• A Safe Place (Napean): Ontario shelter providing emergency housing, counselling, and 24-hour crisis line for women and children fleeing abuse. Operates a comparable emergency-shelter-plus-therapy model in a different Canadian region.
• Interval House (Toronto): Toronto-based emergency shelter and counselling service for women and children fleeing violence. Closely aligned operating model - emergency shelter, crisis line, long-term therapy - but urban rather than rural.
• Women's Shelters Canada / SHELTER: National umbrella organization coordinating Canada's network of women's shelters and transition houses. Represents CPV's peers nationally and provides shared advocacy, training, and policy infrastructure.
• Battered Women's Support Services (Vancouver): Vancouver non-profit offering crisis line, counselling, support groups, and violence prevention education for women experiencing violence. Highly comparable service portfolio including community education and direct service delivery.

Emerging players

• Kids Help Phone: Canada-wide 24/7 e-mental health service for youth, including support related to violence and abuse. Partial overlap with CPV's youth intervention focus (Centre Boreal); differs by being remote/digital-first rather than facility-based.
