Women's place services include: Information, one-to-one problem solving and emotional support, advocacy, accompaniment to court (or other legal or medical appointments), referrals, and a wide array of programming in collaboration with Public Health and Addiction Services.

🌟 Thank You, Arichat! 🌟

We had such a wonderful time at our "Creating Connections" event last night! It was great meeting new faces, introducing our Richmond County Outreach Worker, and creating beautiful ornaments for our tree, which will be displayed at the Lions Hall during the Festival of Trees event, taking place in St. Peter’s on November 22–23, 2025. 🎄✨

Thank you for the warm welcome and a lovely evening of connection and creativity - We hope to be back again soon! 💛

Join us for a gentle and reflective candle-making workshop in remembrance of those whose lives have been impacted or lost to domestic violence. Together, we will create personalized candles as symbols of memory, resilience, and hope.

This workshop offers a quiet space for healing, honoring loved ones, and raising awareness through the power of light. Participants will have the opportunity to dedicate their candle to someone special, share stories if they wish, and connect with others in a supportive environment.

Let us gather, remember, and shine a light that refuses to go out.
