VISION:  Working Together To Build A Safe Community

    The Women’s Rural Resource Centre of Strathroy and Area is a non-profit organization that is committed to supporting women and children who are in abusive relationships.  The services include an emergency shelter in Strathroy where women and children can stay for a period of six weeks.  During these six weeks, a counsellor works with the woman on safety planning, and connecting the woman with housing, financial or legal referrals and resources in the community.
