Wellness Program

 The Wellness and Recovery Program provides safe, supportive housing for women working toward long-term stability and wellness. The program offers 14 beds with stays of up to one year, giving residents the time and space needed to focus on recovery and rebuilding their lives.

·         Our approach is rooted in trauma-informed, harm reduction, and person-centered practices. We recognize that each woman’s journey is unique and provide individualized case planning, counseling, and support.

·         Residents are encouraged to set personal goals around health, wellness, housing stability, and community integration. Staff provide ongoing assistance with life skills, employment and education resources, and access to community supports.

·         The program is designed not only to meet immediate needs for safety and stability but also to foster resilience, independence, and long-term recovery. Through collaboration, compassion, and consistent support, we help residents build a strong foundation for the future.

For the duration of their stay, women in our shelter have access to a variety of optional programs to support physical and emotional healing and recovery, skill development, positive social interaction, and more.

This includes:

  • Access To Public Health
  • Access To Community Service Village Agencies
  • Access To The Fitness on 25th Facilities
  • Opportunities To Participate In Community Dinners & Movie Nights

Nutritional Programs

We offer education on healthy nutrition and its importance for physical, mental, and emotional health. These sessions covers basic nutrition, the Canada food guide, food safe principles, and eating well for diabetes. Individual nutritional counselling is also offered to help residents set their own healthy eating goals, determine portion sizes, and ensure a balanced diet, with the goal of enabling them to set goals and find balance for themselves.

Cultural Programs

Residents of our shelter have access to cultural workshops with community Elders where they can take part in sharing circles and express themselves through art.
