Women impacted by the criminal justice system and women facing multiple disadvantage experience significant barriers to a safe and dignified life. A lack of access to safe housing, exclusion from mental health services due to complex diagnoses, complex trauma and the threat of domestic violence are just a handful of issues faced by the 225+ women we support each year.

Our trauma-informed, women-only safe space empowers the most vulnerable women to navigate the structural barriers they face to a safe and happy life. We encourage women to decide for themselves what personal goals they would like to achieve, e.g. safer housing, better mental health, healthier finances, independence from an abusive partner, and support them on their journey. All in a warm, non-judgmental and supportive space for women to form new social connections and build their self-esteem.
