We built a new home!

We were eager to help more women experience recovery, find healing, and build new, supportive relationships and urgently needed to move to a larger building to meet with the growing number of women who were coming to us for support. And we accomplished that in May 2024!

Our New Home

Our new home features small meeting rooms for counselling sessions and larger community spaces for group programs like yoga, meditation, art, book clubs and writing workshops. It has cozy nooks for reading and journaling, a welcoming kitchen for coffee and chats, and a living room that serves as a home away from home for women who need a peaceful space to focus on their recovery process.

Our DREAM CAME TrUE

Our community helped us raise $1,500,000.

We’ve built community right into the structure, with a custom-designed, floor-to-ceiling Gratitude Wall in the building’s main entrance.
