Services for Women Experiencing Abuse and Violence
Abuse / Neglect, Mental Health - Adult & Senior, and Victim Services
Provided by Quesnel Women's Resource Centre
Provides a variety of programs to support women who have experienced violence and abuse.
All programs offered at the Quesnel Women’s Resource Center are free of charge. The following programs are offered:
- Stopping the Violence Counselling: Provides counselling services to groups or individual women who have experienced sexual assault, violence/abuse, or historical abuse.
- Drop-in Support Service: The Drop-In Program plays an important role in the community by providing a safe haven for women needing connection and/or support with the challenges of life, which often coincide with the still present gender inequality issues in society and rising numbers of women experiencing isolation or abuse.
- Outreach Support Services: Provides counselling, advocacy, and support to people in our community. The program also provides information about resources in the community and facilitates peer support groups for women with a history of domestic abuse and violence.
- Respectful Relationships: This program runs in partnership with School District #28. The goal of this is to reduce the incidence of relationship violence in the lives of youth by helping them develop the skills and attitudes needed for healthy and respectful relationships.
- Community Counselling: Offers counselling to adult individuals and families who need support with mental health issues, stress, addictions, and other daily life challenges. Provide one-on-one counselling, group counselling, outreach counselling, and community integration services with the goal of reaching underserved populations. It is a program that has been developed to offer counselling services to people who may have difficulty accessing other counselling in the community. Community Counselling is delivered in a number of ways, including In-person (individual/ group) counselling, telephone and web-based counselling. Additionally, we have the flexibility to enter the community and reach rural and remote areas.
