In-Shelter Counselling
Violence Against Women Crisis Workers provide supportive guidance to women staying in the shelter.
Frontline staff support clients by helping to decrease their sense of isolation, providing education about their rights, building safety plans, and by providing referrals to complementary agencies. Staff help women overcome feelings of loneliness and despair by teaching about the cycle of abuse and by encouraging healthy coping strategies.
