Women

Fresh Start for Women
We’re committed to supporting women who have experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence. This program helps women who have suffered abuse to make a fresh start. We support clients as they find their voice, build confidence and make important decisions for themselves and their children. We offer one-on-one counselling and group sessions, along with other services.
