Who We Are
About us
The Women’s Interval Home of Sarnia and Lambton Inc. is a nonprofit charitable organization established on December 10, 1977 to provide emergency shelter and counselling services to women who have experienced abuse and their children in Sarnia-Lambton.
Since then, the Women’s Interval Home has expanded their services to now include a 24 hour crisis support line, transition and housing support services, child witness counselling services, groups and support brought to multiple towns throughout Lambton County.
By working in collaboration with local partners, the Women’s Interval Home strives to end the cycle of violence against women in our society.
