PET FRIENDLY ROOMS: SHELTER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Pets can often be a significant barrier to women leaving a dangerous and abusive situation. Victims will delay leaving or may consider returning to their partner because they fear for the safety of their pets. Many women are unaware that there are options for keeping their pets safe while finding safety for themselves and their children. In June 2020, two rooms in our Emergency Shelter were transformed to accommodate small animals that arrive with women escaping violence. Allowing pets in the Shelter helps provide emotional and healing support for women and their children during their stay, and can be life changing in their journey. This program honours Jasmine Lovett and Aliyah Sanderson, a mother and daughter who lost their lives to violence. SHELTER BEDS APP In the Spring of 2020, we launched the Shelter Beds App in collaboration with YW Calgary, Rowan House, Wheatland Shelter and Awo Taan Healing Lodge Society. This Shelter NEW Beds App is a useful tool which allows local emergency INITIATIVES shelters to share information on vacancies with each other and keep room availability up-to-date, creating a smoother process for women seeking shelter. This app has been very successfully utilized and is being piloted shortly in some other communities in Alberta. The vision is for this app to be deployed across the province to assist the larger shelter MEN HELPING system be better able to respond to community need for MEN CAMPAIGN beds province wide and regionally. We launched this new initiative to help fund our Men’s Counselling Service in the Fall of 2020. We enlisted the help of core supporters to reach out to their personal networks to help support this MEN’S DIGITAL STRATEGY This is a digital presence that will offer healthy, important program.
