Not ok.

Police across Perth County receive more than 600 calls each year related to intimate partner violence. Many more suffer in silence. It happens here — and it’s not ok.

Join the movement to end intimate partner violence in Perth County.

The Not ok. campaign makes the warning signs of intimate partner violence visible, so everyone can learn to recognize, respond, and offer support. Together, we can create a community where abuse is never ignored, and no one feels alone.
