The AFWP Outreach Program provides family-focused and accessible services for community members. Staff are located throughout Akwesasne to offer drop-in services, where individuals can access information on domestic violence, advocacy, referral services, and more. Confidential one-on-one counselling can also be arranged on-site.

AFWP Outreach also facilitates many educational programs and cultural services throughout the area. Transportation can be a barrier to participating in community events, so let the AFWP know and see if transportation can be arranged.
