If you are a woman experiencing abuse, please contact our Violence against Women programs at ESPRIT PLACE Family Resource Centre. Esprit Place is a ten bed emergency shelter for women and children, serving the District of Parry Sound since 1986. We provide safe and secure residential accommodation twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

dependent children, who have been abused. We also provide accommodation
for women and children with other special needs, such as a personal or
housing crisis.

• Individual support and counseling
• Group counseling for women and children
