We believe that women, given emotional support and much needed resources, can be empowered to recognize their own strengths and choose a safe and fulfilling future.

Residents are offered individual and group counselling, as well as information on housing, legal aid, financial assistance, and job training. Residents benefit from a feminist analysis of woman abuse, an empowerment model in supportive counselling and the understanding and support of the staff and other residents. Since 1985 our shelter has provided safe, temporary housing for victims of woman abuse and their children. Second Stage Housing has been operating since 1991 and provides rent geared to income apartments in secure buildings where women and children can live for one year. |
