Our Mission
To provide a short-term, safe and supportive environment for abused women and their children, women in crisis, or other women needing emergency accommodation; and to provide these women with basic needs and an opportunity to learn of services and alternatives for themselves and their families to facilitate decisions about their future.
To provide Follow-up and Outreach for all women on a one-on-one basis.
Our Vision
While providing women and children with services that ensure a secure environment within the region, we will provide leadership and work with the community in educating the public on issues of domestic violence and abusive behaviour.
Our Philosophy
It is the philosophy of the Peace River Women’s Shelter Society that everyone has the right to live free of violence and abuse. Everyone also has the right to security and protection under the law.
No person should be forced to remain in a violent or abusive home because of a lack of alternatives. This means that survivors of abuse must have the economic resources to survive independently of an abusive relationship.
The right to integrity of the person includes the right to make informed choices among alternatives regarding one’s own personal life. The Peace River Regional Women’s Shelter Society promotes the education and empowerment of survivors of abuse. It also promotes broad education of the public to promote non-violence, equality of the sexes and healthy relationships.
Our Beliefs and Principles
· All individuals have the right to security and protection under the law.
· All individuals have the right to live free of assaults, abuse and violence.
· No person should be forced to remain in a violent or abusive home because of the lack of alternatives.
· The right to integrity of the person includes the right to make informed choices
among alternatives in one’s own life decisions
