“I enjoyed going to the Y's mindfulness group -- the organizers were approachable and cared about their work! The environment was welcoming, respectful and supportive. I learned new ways to be more mindful and cope with my anxiety that are easily applicable to my life, without having too much pressure.”
“Participating in Mindfulness Group has been a life changing experience for me. Compared to the first time I went to the info session (which I was actually quite skeptical about the program), I've changed so much since now I know how to manage my anxiety and apply mindfulness exercises whenever I need them. The instructors were amazing, and they answered the group's questions with very helpful answers. The group environment was very comfortable and welcoming as well. I would definitely want to recommend this program to anyone even if they are not going through anxiety, and I hope to further develop my skills and learnings in mindfulness. Thank you so much for such an amazing program!”

PEACE PROGRAM 250-376-7800 Children and youth with experiences of violence in the home need a dedicated program to address these violent experiences.

Y EMERGENCYWOMENS SHELTER 250-374-6162 or text 250-682-7931 We know that when women feel supported, when they feel their voices have been heard, when their experience has been believed, and when their community demonstrates that they care, they are able to move beyond surviving to thriving.
– Anonymous QUOTES FROM PAST SHELTER RESIDENTS STOPPING THE VIOLENCE OUTREACH SERVICES 250-320-3110 Outreach services for women is so much more than a mobile response to violence. Outreach is a safe spot to land: between waitlists for longer term support services, while negotiating the often frightening and painstaking processes of our legal system, and while strategizing about ‘how to leave’ in a way that keeps everyone safe and fed and housed.
“I cannot even imagine what would have happened to me if I didn't have the shelter to come to. There is no way I would be doing what I'm doing and be the mom that I am if it wasn't for all of the ladies there helping me and supporting me through the darkest most difficult time of my life.” – Nicole “I'm sharing this with you because I want you to know that the work you all do matters. You all truly make a difference. I have endless love and gratitude in my heart for all of the staff there and the shelter itself.”
