Doing our part to Empower Women
Are you an immigrant or refugee woman, girl, or gender-diverse person in the Kamloops region? We offer one-to-one appointments and free programs that can support you with counselling, goal-planning, connecting to legal services, and much more.
Do you need to connect with other women? Do you want to improve your wellness? Do you need help navigating the legal system or finding information? Or are you in a difficult situation at home or work that requires crisis intervention?
