The Hope Mission Women's Centre
(Edwardson Place) offers a
unique long term live-in program to women, with or without
children. The program is particularly suited to women who
desire a supportive living environment within which to make
positive changes in their lives.
Our purpose is to help each woman understand
that her past need not affect the success of her future; therefore, our purpose
is to give women opportunities to obtain the tools necessary for them to live
healthy lives.
Our
Program consists of a daily planning circle, a morning work component and
afternoon group sessions. The Group Sessions are designed to teach and encourage
women toward a future of hope, free from reproach, shame and defeat.
Our Residence has 18 rooms furnished for
single women or women with children. Shared washroom and laundry facilities are
on each floor with a common social area, library and meeting room accessible to
all. Meals are provided in the main floor dining room.
Resident staff counselors work closely with
the single women and mothers encouraging goal setting and decision making.
Throughout we try to show the love of Jesus Christ, and to show the possibility
of new life.
