Thank you for supporting the Women’s Centre of York Region. While millions of Canadians stay home to keep safe and help flatten the curve, for many of our clients, home has become more dangerous than ever, as they are confined to their homes with their abusers. The Women’s Centre continues to provide care, needed more now than ever, and is following governement advisories.
One-on-One Support
In addition to in-person one-on-one support, telephone and web-based counselling support are now available to our clients. Staying connected reminds us all that we are not alone in this and we will make it through together.
Group Programs
In addition to in-person group programming, remote group support from our Making Changes, Enterprising Careers, and Financial Empowerment teams! Informing women about the impacts of covid-19 and understanding the relief benefits available are key drivers for the care of our clients.
Community Partners
Working in collaboration with our community partners, we ensure our clients and their families receive care.
Staying Connected
Regular updates on our Facebook and Instagram. We're sharing community resources, links and tips that can help clients and families cope, like activity ideas that keep everyone safe, active and engaged while at home.
We are accepting donations online through Canada Helps – www.canadahelps.org or we can be reached by email at info@WCYR.ca or by phone at 905-853-9270. Be Safe and remember we are stronger together.
