Once a month, we offer a free legal clinic for women seeking advice on legal matters related to their domestic abuse situation, such as divorce, custody, and property division. We offer 30 minute appointments for women to have a chance to ask questions of a family lawyer and find out next steps for their individual situation. Contact us for more information. Please note we ask clients to schedule an intake appointment with us prior to registering for the legal clinic.

Program

At times, existing women's shelters are running at full capacity and without beds available, women and children looking to leave their abusive environment are put up in hotels until a space opens up.

Airdrie P.O.W.E.R. provides emergency hampers with basic necessities such as personal hygiene items, diapers and wipes, toiletries and gift cards to women referred to our program who are staying in hotels. This small act of kindness can help alleviate some of the stress being experienced during this scary time by allowing the woman to put her financial resources to other immediate needs.

Day Shelter

Our support groups are 10 week programs in a small group setting, where women can connect with others who have been through a similar experience and truly realize they are not alone. Education, reflection, healing, and connection are all a part of the group activities, which are designed to help women rebuild their lives and rediscover their sense of self following abuse. 


Groups are for clients of the Day Shelter who are ready for the next step, and wanting to connect with other women who understand. Please contact us to schedule an intake appointment so we can provide individualized help, and talk about next steps, including support groups.

​POWER

Legal clinic

Every woman's needs are different, so we work with them to create a personalized plan that will meet their needs at any given time. Our Day Shelter is here to provide a space for women to receive this support.


We focus on safety first, and will connect women to emergency services and shelter if a woman's safety is at risk. 


Not everyone will need to go to an emergency shelter. Some may need legal advice, assistance with forms, a safe phone to connect with family and friends, counselling, or help making sense of things because everything is chaotic. 


 We offer individualized support as long as it is needed, as well as ongoing support as women start their lives, free from abuse.
