Individual & Family Services - North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Since 1973, the North Shore Women's Centre has worked to improve the social, economic, legal and political status of women, and encouraged and supported self-empowerment by acting as a resource and a catalyst for change, from feminist perspectives. Located on the unceded Traditional Territories of the Coast Salish peoples and Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, we operate a drop-in resource centre welcoming women and gender diverse individuals, including those who identify as trans, Two-Spirit, and/or gender non-binary. We particularly support those individuals who are isolated, marginalized and/or living with low incomes to help address concerns regarding poverty, gender-based violence, safe and affordable housing/homelessness, physical/mental health, separation, parenting, discrimination and systemic oppression, employment and training, childcare and more. Our range of free, prevention-oriented programs and services include: peer counselling, crisis support, emergency food/toiletries, laundry service, basic computer training, family law clinic, health and wellness program, support groups, workshops and public education initiatives, and young women's empowerment programs. Each year the North Shore Women's Centre provides between 7,000-8,000 service contacts.
