Supporting a friend who may be experiencing violence
Signal for Help
The Signal for Help initiative was launched by the our partner, the Canadian Women’s Foundation, in response to COVID-19. If you see someone use the Signal for Help, check in with the person safely to find out what they need and want you to do.

If you’re concerned about a friend or family member who may be experiencing domestic violence, visit sheltersafe.ca to find the crisis line for a women’s shelter in your community. The experts you'll speak to can best advise on potential next steps and critical safety planning.
Staying consistently in touch with a woman who is being abused in self-isolation is also very important. Avoid referencing the abuse in any text messages or emails you exchange as these may be monitored by the abuser. It is recommended to ask general questions like "How are you?" over email/text and yes/no questions over the phone like "Would you like me to call a shelter for you?"
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency services.

Thank you to our National Sponsors!
Helping to bring safety and hope to families across the country
The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is fortunate to be supported by generous individuals and businesses that are committed to helping women and children live free from violence.
We would like to make special mention of our National Sponsors who have
supported us for many years. They help make our national events, including the National Garage Sale for Shelter, possible. While we have not been able to be together in person this year, we are deeply grateful for their loyalty and the trust they place in us to help create safer homes and communities.
