- Safe Shelter for Battered Women
We operate a shelter for women and their kids. If you need a safe place to stay in order to escape or prevent
an attack, our transition house is available to you.
We also offer the following services:
Try not to be isolated from other women who could understand
your situation. Our support groups, including an ex-residents'
group, meet once a week. Sharing emotional support and knowledge
helps us all join together to act for change.
You'll need information if you're dealing with
the Ministry of Social Services, the police, court and/or hospital.
Phone for an appointment to come in and find
out what we know.
We will accompany women to the hospital, to
the police, through court proceedings, appointments with lawyers,
Financial Aid Workers, and Social Workers, providing emotional
support and advocacy.
We have articles, films, and speakers on male violence
against women and we are interested in sharing our resources
with other groups.
We respect every woman's right to confidentiality.
It is important for women to share our stories because making
our experiences known to each other corrects myths and distortions
about our lives.
