The On-Site Nurse program offers individuals access to immediate and follow-up medical intervention and provides health education and resources. Champions entering WIN House often require critical medical intervention due to the nature of their stay. Victims of violence may have untreated or undiagnosed health issues because of the violence and control they have faced. The On-Site Nurse is a Registered Nurse available for one-on-one appointments to begin their positive healthcare journey.

When Champions need us most, we're here, from frontline response services and emergency shelter to emotional support and interpreter services.

• 554 Champions Served

• 97% Occupancy

• Over 12,000 Nights of Safety

The WIN House Meals Program ensures that every person in our shelters is provided with meals, snacks, and beverages. We continue to adjust for allergies, cultural needs, and other dietary restrictions. WIN House provides access to resources that meet our Champions' basic needs. This, in turn, allows them to spend their time in WIN House focused on recovery and not worry about their next meal.

• 36,564 Meals Provided

Our Champions have access to free Domestic Violence counselling. Whether attending the support group or booking one-on-one sessions, our residents can access appropriate counselling support. Plus, they will be able to continue accessing services once they leave the shelter at little to no cost. We can provide child play therapy at their counselling site if the parent has full custody of the child, or can secure other guardians’ consent to receive counselling for their children. When our residents are in therapy appointments or support groups, we provide respite care for their children. All of this is done in partnership with the YWCA.
