Self-esteem
Groups offer women an unique opportunity to come together and find their your own voices. Being in a group can help break down isolation and create safe spaces to talk about shared concerns.
Self Esteem and empowerment are central themes in all of the Centre’s group programs.

Sexual Violence Support
According to Stats Canada, one in three women will experience some form of sexualized violence in their lifetime. Our doors are open to all survivors. We are here to support survivors through direct services including support, information, referrals and programs. As social change advocates, the Centre collaborates with community and agencies to work collectively towards raising awareness and prevention activities. The Centre also administrates MORPH, Mapping Our Road to Power and Healing and employs a navigator to support survivors and community initiatives including public education.

Speaking Up and Speaking Out
Empowerment is the central focus of Speaking up Speaking out (SUSO), from the collective to individual self-esteem, self-compassion, and boundary and assertiveness consciousness rising through the group experience. The program is dedicated to women who have come before us boldly, bravely speaking up and speaking out for the rights of women. Women like Doreen Paris former Women’s Centre employee who passed away February 26, 2019. She is forever in our hearts. Doreen lived a lifetime of dedication to women and community, breaking through barriers and speaking up and breaking the silence. Women supporting women, empowering one and another, consciousness raising, and action are the themes of our new program.
