Archdiocese creates partnership with a Twin Cities mental health nonprofit to provide services.
The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis announced Thursday it has created a partnership with Twin Cities-based Canvas Health to provide services to victims of clergy abuse.
The partnership creates a 24-hour abuse hot line that will be staffed by a professional trained to respond to victims of sexual abuse. Canvas Health also will provide counseling and other services.
“Canvas Health is the perfect match,” said Tim O’Malley, the archdiocese’s Director of Ministerial Standards and Safe Environment. “They are experts in this field who know how to balance action with compassion.”
