Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones told Sudbury.com this week the province is trying to take a holistic approach to the concerns that intimate partner violence has reached an unacceptably widespread level in our society.
In the wake of the murders, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury both declared intimate partner violence to be an epidemic in Canada. She said the current Ontario government sees the need for an all-ministry, all-of-government approach. "So we have increased the level of training that is happening at the Ontario Police College, we have increased funding for things like matching mental health workers with police officers," said Jones."I am proud of the work that we've been able to do not in one particular ministry, but making sure that across the board, we are looking at this very holistically and saying, ‘Where do we need to do better’?" said Jones.
