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.

Additional Service Information

  • We're committed to making sure that everyone who needs our services can access them without barriers, and we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
