What we offer
Our program provides transitional supports and safe housing to women with or without children, who are leaving abusive relationships. Our affordable, well-maintained twelve apartment complex offers a stable environment in which women may access a variety of supports to help them make long term plans for independent living. Information, support and practical resources are available to women regardless of age, colour, religion, education, economic status or ability, who have identified a commitment to move beyond the abuse. The longer-term support women receive while residing at Second Stage is intended to empower and enable them to live independently in our community, free from abuse. Women’s Program
