The police took Rose and her children to a shelter in the area where she lived. A shelter is a place where you can stay with your children if your partner is abusing you.
Shelters are free of charge.
Phone ahead to make sure that they have a room available. There are many shelters throughout Alberta. If you do not need a place to stay, but would like to talk to someone about what is happening to you, you may call the shelter's crisis line. Shelters are designed specifically to support women and children. If you go to a shelter, you do not have to pay for the room or the food.
