Chantel's Place
Chantel's Place was opened in November
1998 in partnership with the Peel Regional Police and with
the generous donations of many community members and organizations.
It is considered a model of service throughout Ontario's 34
hospital-based programs.Chantel’s Place provides survivors
of violence the respect and dignity they deserve by providing
them with the specialized care of a nurse in an environment
that is favourable to disclosures. Chantel’s Place offers
survivors the safety and security they need.

| Kid's Playroom |
Comfortable chairs,
soft lighting and warm colours create a welcoming, private
waiting room space. A child’s room with a television,
a computer and lots of toys create a comforting atmosphere
for children.
The Nurse Examination Room is equipped with
a screen for photographing injuries, forensic tools,
and a privacy screen for survivors who require the support
of an interpreter. If a survivor wishes to involve police, a
separate Interview Room is available
to use once the medical examination has taken place. To reduce
the stress of visiting a police station, the room is set-up
to videotape statements.
