Our programs are open to all women (transgender and cisgender), non-binary, and two-spirit people who identify as part of the women’s community and who have been impacted by violence or trauma at any time in their lives. To get the most out of our programs, women are individually assessed and need to:  

• be out of crisis 
• be out of any abusive relationships and not be actively engaged in crisis level disputes with abuser(s) 
• have taken any necessary legal steps to ensure safety (restraining order, peace bond) 
• have safe living conditions 
• have children settled in school/daycare during program delivery times (financial support is available)
• have the ability to show that, if alcohol or substance use has been a problem for you, that you are out of active addiction, have a demonstrated period of sobriety, and that recovery supports are in place
• and have clear motivation for change, learning, employment, volunteering or education
