About this service
Childrens Shelter Program
Not all children who witness intimate partner violence and abuse grow up to be abused or become abusive, especially if they receive counselling or have a positive role model to follow. Transition House provides intervention programs that help stop the inter-generational cycle of abuse. Children are told, its not your fault, you are loveable and you are capable. They are also taught to create a safety plan. In addition:
Children are given access to individual crisis counselling with the on-site childrens counsellor
Parent education and support is available as are referrals to community resources
Childrens activity workers create recreational opportunities for children
Child-minding is available while mothers attend appointments
Cultural and recreational activities help to create an oasis of fun during a stressful time
