Mission Statement
To empower women and their children fleeing abuse by providing safety, support, and a range of services and to raise awareness about root causes to end the cycle of violence and abuse.
About This Cause
As one of Ontario’s first shelters for those who experiencing abuse, Gillian’s Place provides safe refuge and support programs to survivors of gender-based violence in Niagara, and beyond. Our team has continuously evolved and grow in our understanding of and responsiveness to the needs within our community. We have grown in our awareness of the intersections between violence and marginalization and the necessity of providing an inclusive, barrier-free response to gendered violence. We are inclusive and welcoming of all women, two-spirit, genderqueer, trans, and non-binary people facing violence. We desire to offer services and spaces where all survivors can come without reservation, knowing that they will be welcomed, respected, and provided with hope, support, and choices. At Gillian’s Place, we are much more than an emergency shelter. We offer a wide spectrum of free and confidential services that support survivors across the care continuum. These include: - A 34-bed emergency shelter - A 24/7 phone or text support line - Second stage housing - Safety planning - Experienced and non-judgemental one-on-one and group counselling - Legal advice and support - Child and youth programs - A transitional housing and support program - Education and violence prevention programs Together, we can help break the cycle of violence in our community.
