The outreach workers provide support counselling to women (16+) struggling with a variety of issues including assistance in accessing information on employment, housing, education, self esteem and domestic violence. In addition, they are available to provide in service training or presentation on a variety of topics. Our Workers can also provide accompaniment to appointments such as court appearances, lawyer, police, etc.Historical Abuse / Sexual Assault Program
The aims of this program are to provide individual and group counselling to survivors of sexual assault who are over 16 years of age and to develop individualized treatment plans. Through counselling, women are able to explore their past to determine whether or not abuse actually took place as some clients may be in the process of discovery. In addition, our workers are able to meet issues dealing with recent sexual assault in terms of support counselling. Within this program, our worker also provides education to the community about sexual assault and available support services as well as providing necessary referrals.Childcare Program
