Shelter
A shelter is a home, a place to live and reflect on what happened to you. It is a community living environment that will serve as a halfway house for a given time. The living spaces are shared with other residents and are made up of several rooms including a kitchen, a living room and a children’s playroom.
Sensitization
The prevention of domestic violence depends on a good understanding of the factors that may play a role in its perpetration. To this end, we are implementing various strategies to prevent domestic violence. Our intervention covers community, school and professional settings.
Training
The Marguerite de Champlain Pavilion offers a training session entitled: “Intervening in a cultural context”. It is given in different contexts: community or professional. Our information sessions allow practitioners to better understand the techniques and methods of intervention in an intercultural context. They help strengthen the professional skills of staff and their ability to respond ethically and effectively to cases of women victims of domestic violence.
External services
External services are offered after sheltering, as a follow-up. Also, women in the community who do not want sheltering services can access external intervention by individual meetings or in groups.
Video conferences
