Testimonials
Voices from our community
“
I would say support and kindness and availability, access to programs and services I wasn’t aware of. Having somewhere safe to be. That was huge for me. The staff have been amazing, very helpful. They really keep track of you and they’re always you know about safety and especially in my case with it being fairly recent and with the police being involved. They’ve been really really good that way. It was very welcoming here when I came. It’s nice to be in a female environment. Don’t push too much on you. Really good about my safety. Very welcoming when I came here.

I feel the staff respected my cultural beliefs. They don’t make you uncomfortable. Like spiritual or when you share stories. I come from very spiritual family where my grandma is a medicine woman and my grandpa is an elder. So I would be shy of people and stuff like that, but I feel more comfortable speaking to staff here about it, whereas if you speak to someone who doesn’t know, you feel judged.

We don’t have healing just for ourselves to hold it just ourselves. We are just awakening after 2–300 years of oppression. We are awakening in a time where there are many cultures living together and so we have to share our ways with one another.
