Food and basic necessities are provided.

What about my children?
Concerned about how your partner’s abuse is impacting your children?
Call PearlSpace at 604-892-5748 (Squamish) or 604-935-8534 (Whistler) to talk with a PEACE Counsellor. We provide individual and group counselling for children and youth aged 3-18 that have experienced conflict and/or abuse in the home. The PEACE counsellor will create an opportunity for your child to cope with traumatic events in his/her life in a safe, confidential, and nurturing environment. Your child will be supported to express feelings in healthy ways, safely plan, and manage worry and anxiety through art, play, and discussion.

Support workers at the Transition House and Drop-In Centres are available to provide information, referrals, emotional support and practical assistance to support you in transition.
