Welkaqnik Next Step Shelter

“A place of good feeling”

Our Goal:

A next step shelter providing survivors of family violence a safe affordable shelter for a period of up to one (1) year.

Serving:

All Mi’kmaq/Aboriginal individuals and families that are victims of family violence by referral and qualify through an application intervention process.

How We Help:

  • Volunteers and staff offer a warm, friendly place of good feeling in the company of other Aboriginal families
  • Volunteers and staff provide safe and supportive guidance, enabling families to nurture and grow through Caring, Sharing, Helping and Understanding.
  • A full time Community Support Counsellor assists clients to gain a perspective on their situation and consider alternatives and options.
  • Community Support Counsellor implements a “stay goal plan” and provides appropriate referrals and establishes contact with other community agencies and resources.
