Shelter Program Services
Shelter Program
Seek refuge from violent or abusive relationships
The shelter provides Sarnia-Lambton with 17 Ministry-funded emergency beds for women and their dependents seeking safety, available 24/7.
We offer brief solution-focused individual and group counseling, case management, safety planning, support, and advocacy. Children's caseworkers provide emotional support and counseling, as well as parenting assistance for mothers.
While pets cannot be accommodated, we work with community partners to assist with this barrier.
All our services are free and confidential.
