Alpha House is a year long program that offers women and their children long-term counselling and support programs, as well as protective and affordable housing. Our suites are fully furnished. Residents are protected by an extensive security network that includes keeping the location of the house strictly confidential. You will live independently with the support of the program to help you to rebuild your life free from abuse.

What’s Required of You?

  • Be committed to making a positive lasting change in your life
  • Be willing to participate in programs, including meeting twice a week with the women’s counsellor for personal counselling, once a week with the children’s counsellor, and attending two support group sessions per week.
  • Agree to care for and respect your suite.

We know it’s not going to be easy, but if you’re committed to making this positive change in your life and the lives of your children then we’re committed to doing everything in our power to make sure that you’re equipped to succeed.
