I am a survivor because of Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region. I stayed at Haven House in 2016 with my 4 children.  I was able to participate in the Safe Steps program and have done counseling and self-reflection to learn how and why I was affected by intimate partner violence, and to prevent it from happening again. The support provided has turned me into a strong independent woman today. Thank you for your help.
