Stopping the Violence Counselling Program provides counselling services to groups or individual women who have experienced sexual assault, violence/abuse, or historical abuse.

Drop-in Support Service

The Drop-In Program plays an important role in the community by providing a safe haven for women needing connection and/or support with the challenges of life. Which often coincides with the still present gender inequality issues in society and rising numbers of women experiencing isolation or abuse. Our centre offers an inviting place to sit and reflect and have someone to talk to (Drop-in hours may vary).

Program funded by: Gaming Branch, Government of BC.

Outreach Support Services

Outreach Support Services provides counseling, advocacy, and support to people in our community. The program also provides information about resources in the community and facilitates peer support groups for women with a history of domestic abuse and violence.

Program funded by: Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General

Program funded by: Gaming Branch, Government of BC.

Community Counselling

Community Counselling offers counselling to adult individuals and families who need support with mental health issues, stress, addictions, and other daily life challenges. We provide one on one counselling, group counselling, outreach counselling, and community integration services with the goal of reaching underserved populations. It is a program that has been developed to offer counselling services to people who may have difficulty accessing other counselling in the community. 

Community Counselling is delivered in a number of ways including In-person (individual/ group) counselling, telephone and web-based counselling. Additionally, we have the flexibility to go into community and to rural and remote areas.
