A Safe Place to call Home

'“I learned so much here. I learned to stop blaming myself for his actions. I learned I am a lot stronger than I thought possible. I learned that it’s OK for me to just leave when a situation is making me feel unsafe,' woman at Alice House. Alice House provides longer term safe housing and counselling services to women and children who are fleeing and recovering from domestic violence.
