Victims of Violence Intervention Program
A client reached out for support after having used shelter services in the past. In her earlier stays, she found it difficult to remain in shelter, leaving after just a day. However, each time she returned, something shifted. With every visit to shelter, she stays a little longer, gradually building a sense of safety and trust within the shelter environment. Through consistent support, encouragement, and advocacy from staff, she began to feel more grounded. Through all of this, the client has demonstrated remarkable resilience. Despite setbacks, she has continued to come back when she needs support. This shows immense courage and a deep desire to change. Over time, her determination becomes more and more evident. She is now able to more openly reflect on her experiences and knows that with each step she takes, it is a step towards lasting change in her life.
