Next Steps: Transition support for women
At Artemis Huron, we walk alongside women as they take the next steps in rebuilding their lives. Whether it’s finding safe housing, navigating the court system, or strengthening their well-being, we’re here to help. Our team offers personalized support and connections, both within Artemis Huron and throughout the community, so that every woman has the resources, encouragement, and care she needs to move forward with confidence.
Second Stage Program
Our Second Stage Program offers women and their children a safe place to live as they rebuild their lives after gender-based violence. With secure longer-term housing and ongoing support, women have the time and space to heal, build independence, and create stability for themselves and their children. Counselling, advocacy, and personalized supports are available as each woman moves forward at her own pace.
Counselling Services
We offer specialized counselling for women and children who have experienced gender-based violence and sexual assault. Grounded in a understanding of trauma and healing, our approach is holistic, recognizing that you are so much more than what has happened to you. Through individual and group counselling, we create a safe, supportive space for healing, growth, and reclaiming your strength, with counsellors who understand the complexities of trauma and recovery.
Group Programming
At Artemis Huron, our group programs offer a place to connect, heal, and grow alongside others who understand. Guided by trained professionals, each group weaves together therapeutic practices, honest conversations, and activities that strengthen resilience and self-esteem. Here, shared experience reminds you that you’re not alone and that healing is possible, together.
Children & Youth Programs
At Artemis Huron, we support children and youth who have been impacted by gender-based violence with compassionate trauma- and violence-informed counselling. Through individual and group sessions, we help young people make sense of their experiences, build resilience, and develop healthy ways to cope and grow. We also work alongside parents and caregivers, offering guidance and support as they walk with their child on the path to healing.
