Threshold Multicultural Outreach The Threshold Multicultural Outreach program provides services to women who have experienced, or are at risk of experiencing abuse, threats, or violence in an intimate relationship. Outreach staff work with women who have left the transition house, with women who have left their abusive partners, and also with those who decide to remain with their abusive partners. This includes the service areas of historical sexual abuse and sexual assault. Staff provide services in a safe and supportive environment consisting of an accepting and protective atmosphere, and provide resource information to help women explore their options and define their goals. Service Highlights There is an ever increasing need for our outreach services but need/demand continues to outweigh the capacity of our program. According to RCMP 2016 District 3 quarterly statistics, there were 541 violent crimes year to date. 1 homicide, 3 attempted murders, 13 sexual offences, 270 assaults, 5 abductions and kidnappings and 74 breaches of bail violations. Surrey’s population (as projected by the Planning and Development Department of Surrey) is expected to increase by over 300,000 in the next 3 decades.
