Information & Resource Line
Confidential information and resource services via text, phone, or email. Staff will chat with you to identify your needs, refer you to one of our programs, or set up a one-on-one appointment with one of our team if you require more time. If we’re not the right people for you, we’ll refer you to another organization, support with system navigation, and check back in (if helpful) to assist with a soft(er) transition.
One-on-One Support
Confidential appointments offering personalized, short-term support for you. Staff provide peer support, resource navigation, and a caring non-judgemental ear. While not registered counselors, they are trained to meet you where you’re at, whether that’s listening, guidance, or resources.
Group Programs
Skill-based group support programs that focus on building your strengths and personal power. All of our programs are multi-week, “closed group” programs that offer a compassionate approach to change, allowing for long lasting impacts that make a real difference.
The Lounge
The Lounge is a safe, inclusive space for women to build connections and access support. Activities range from creative crafts to informative workshops on essential services. No appointment or registration required unless specified, just drop in!
