Transition and Outreach Program

We’re here to listen, to help a woman see her own strength and to provide resources that will help her find safer ways of moving forward in her life.

We offer free, confidential support to women who are experiencing abuse or are concerned about the health of their relationship:

  • support by phone or in person with flexible meeting arrangements
  • safety assessment and risk management
  • accompaniment support for Family Court matters
  • accompaniment to appointments and case conferences
  • housing information (rent-geared-to-income/social housing, market rent and referrals to Homelessness Coordination Response team – HCRT)
  • transportation to appointments
  • emergency transportation to safety
  • support and information about navigating systems such as: Ontario Works and Ontario Disability, Family Court and Criminal Court, and Children’s Aid Society
  • information to help women understand the effects of violence and trauma on themselves and their children
