For over 40 years, Hestia House has worked to end domestic violence by offering a secure shelter to abused women and their children.
The programs provided by Hestia House help abused women and children feel safe, strong, and ready to rebuild their lives. Our programs include referrals to appropriate agencies and support groups for emotional, medical, legal, employment and housing needs.
Staff will offer completely confidential support, counselling, and information over the phone or at the House. Please note, we cannot offer counselling over email or social media as it is not a confidential way of communicating.
