WORKING WITH WHEATLAND CRISIS SOCIETY WHO WORKS WITH THE COMMUNITY
The Wheatland Crisis Society provides ongoing support and services to women, men, and children who are affected by family abuse. They are committed to a vision of a future where their community is free of violence and their citizens are empowered to resolve conflict in peaceful and productive ways. The Wheatland Crisis Society also provides educational and community support services in the Strathmore area. They provide a safe place for families and individuals to stay until they are able to make a ‘next-step’. They also run community programs to support the needs of their community and increase awareness of the issues surrounding family abuse. This donation will assist with daily office tasks and help them create and keep track of their ongoing programs and events.
Their goals for the past year have been:
- Adults and children who experience abuse are sheltered and protected.
- Information is provided to the community about the effects of abuse and violence.
- Awareness regarding family violence is increased.
Strathmore Shelter is a place where people can rest, reflect, and gather energy to take the steps they need to make safe and healthy choices in the future. They are not here to judge. Their role is to help clients to be as safe as possible. They are a short-term shelter (up to 3 weeks) but they try to have a welcoming and home-like setting, and their outreach services are available to clients in the community.
