First Step Women's Shelter First Step Women's Shelter provides a safe and secure emergency shelter for physically, emotionally and sexually abused women and their children. We share a concern for all women and children who are living with violence and abuse and for families, which suffer as a result. We believe that when we work together, violence will become the exception instead of the norm in our families. Any woman who is a victim of abuse or violence can access services and support. We recognize and respect the strength and rights of each woman.
All services are safe, supportive, non-judgmental and confidential.
First Step Women's Shelter operates a 24 hour crisis line for any person to access who is in need of support. The toll free number works anywhere in the 807 area code. You can call the crisis line at any time, day or night, and you do not have to give your name. The staff will listen, make referrals and help you in any way they can. If you need someone to talk to, we are here for you.
