OUTREACH SERVICES
Women's Resources offers supportive counselling to women who have been abused or are currently in an abusive relationship. Counselling sessions focus on how their experiences of abuse affect their daily life.

All services of Women's Resources are women positive, women centred, free and confidential. Counsellors are sensitive to cultural and sexual diversity.

In this framework, outreach counsellors provide information, resources and referrals for housing, legal, financial, parenting, and employment matters.

If you are unable to travel to Lindsay, the outreach counsellor may be able to meet with you in your community.
