With people cooped up together under a provincial stay-at-home order, conflicts are natural and inevitable. But when conflict escalates to the point of family violence, an abused woman's prospects for escaping and for achieving safety, security and peace of mind for herself, her children and her pets may prove particularly daunting.
In addition to providing safe transitional housing for women in crisis, Harmony House also offers numerous advocacy programs to help them and their dependents access long-term housing and other services and safely re-integrate into society.
