Women’s Outreach Program

This program is for :

• Women who have experienced violence or abuse and need help accessing the services they need.
• Women who have recently left an abusive relationship.
• Women who have just finished a stay in a transition house.

An outreach worker can help in many ways including :

• Help in connecting with other services and programs.
• Support and advocacy with family law, legal aid, and child protection problems.
• Information and support regarding income and employment assistance.
• Help in finding health services, housing, job training and child care.
• Act as an escort to medical and other appointments.
• Work with a woman to help her develop a safety plan.

The Outreach Worker travels to Anahim Lake once per month (weather allowing) to offer services.  She also provides telephone support to Anahim Lake clients in between visits.
