Stratford and North Perth

We also offer the kinds of supports you need to move on to a better life – things like counselling and emotional support (for you and your children if you have any), safety planning and risk assessment, as well as help navigating your way through the legal system. We can also help you find a new place to live, a job, medical services, or to apply for community supports such as social housing and Ontario Works (OW) and Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP).

You have to take the first step – but we can help you take the rest.

“Some counsellors I’ve seen in the past didn’t understand what it’s like to be in an abusive relationship. The counsellors at Optimism Place are different. They know what women go through. They’ve seen and heard so much – they totally understand. They helped me find a place of my own, but I still go back there once a week for group meetings. I don’t know where I’d be today without Optimism Place. If you need somebody to talk to, they’re the best people in the world.”

- WENDY, 61, who survived an abusive relationship and is now thriving on her own
