Seeking Support?

Please note: the Canadian Women’s Foundation does not provide counselling or services to individuals. We fund and support organizations that help women and girls, but we do not provide services directly.

Below are links to shelters, other services, and information that may be helpful to you. Services may vary from region to region.

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency services (police, fire, ambulance).
