Mission Statement
Rowan House Society provides crisis intervention, long-term support and preventative education to break the cycle of domestic abuse in our communities. In doing so, we work to fulfill our vision: that we can all thrive in safe and empowering relationships.
About This Cause
Rowan House is a short-term women’s emergency shelter serving Southern Alberta for over 20 years. Rowan House Society offers a continuum of trauma-informed services to prevent and end domestic abuse in the rural communities we serve. Our main objective is to provide immediate safety and support for women and children who have left violence and abusive situations through our short-term, 24 bed emergency shelter and support line. One-on-one support and advocacy in a community setting is also available through our Outreach program for families who may need our services, but not necessarily housing, to keep themselves safe; and we work to challenge social norms and break the cycle of abuse by providing Preventative Education and Awareness for youth in schools, as well as presentations for the general public. Rowan House trauma-informed services take into account an understanding of trauma in all aspects of service delivery. Safety, Trustworthiness, Choice, Collaboration and Empowerment are the core values of Rowan House.
