Who We Support

The BC Society of Transition Houses exists to support our membership of Transition, Second and Third Stage Houses, Safe Homes and PEACE (formerly Children Who Witness Abuse) and Violence is Preventable programs through training, advocacy, research and resources.

BCSTH members are on the front line of providing direct services and supports to women and their children who are seeking safety from violence and abuse. Their services are safe, free and confidential.

BCSTH does not provide frontline support services.

Please visit the Get Help Now page if you need support or a safe place to go.
