If you’re feeling unsafe at home or in your relationship, we’ll show up, listen, and work with you.
Take your first steps toward safety
Whether you want to stay, leave, or aren't sure - if you need help or just someone to sit with you to think through your first steps towards safety, we'll figure it out together.
Let’s work through this together
We have the experience to help you navigate systems like legal, housing, counselling, healthcare, or financial supports – all at your own pace.
Specialized support if you’ve been trafficked
We’ll work with you on safety planning, support to access emergency shelter, food, and essentials.
Case Managers will help you rebuild – from finding safe housing and care to removing debts traffickers put in your name.
Compassion, respect, and support.
- We believe you. We understand that what happened to you is real.
- It's not your fault. You didn’t cause this. The responsibility is theirs, not yours.
- We listen. You can share as much or as little as you want. You decide the pace.
- We work with you. Together, we’ll figure out the next steps that make sense for you — whether that’s finding a safe place, making a plan, or getting longer-term support.
- We stay. We don’t disappear after the first call. We’ll walk alongside you for as long as you need us.
