Ernestine's Women's Shelter, a Toronto-based organization run by women, provides support and shelter for women and children escaping violence.
We are a place of temporary refuge and support for woman and children who are escaping a range of abusive situations such as physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. 2009 marks our 26th year of providing essential services to the women and children who need us the most.
At Ernestine's Women's Shelter, we provide food, shelter and support for single women and families. We operate 32 beds in 14 bedrooms, and have trained counselling staff available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. We also offer a 24-hour emergency telephone crisis line to support those who do not currently reside at the shelter.
Ernestine's Women's Shelter recognizes the impact of violence on children and acknowledges that the rights of children are separate and distinct from their parents.
Ernestine's promotes awareness, education and advocates for early intervention and prevention.
Ernestine's Women's Shelter is a transgender and lesbian friendly environment.
