Survivor Support and Advocacy in BC
You do not have to work out every next step on your own. Roses Life Women Center offers compassionate support and advocacy for women affected by gender-based violence, with a focus on listening, dignity and informed choices.
Support that starts with listening
Gender-based violence can affect confidence, relationships and access to everyday support. Our centre provides a space to talk about your needs and learn about available options. You can begin by asking a question about the service; you do not need to know which program or referral to request.
How the centre can help
- Compassionate listening and emotional support.
- Information about gender-based violence and available community resources.
- Safety planning and risk assessment support.
- Guidance navigating community, legal and social service systems.
- Referrals to shelters, healthcare, counselling and specialist services.
- Advocacy that respects your voice and your choices.
Some needs are addressed through partner or specialist organizations. The team can explain which support the centre provides directly and when a referral may be appropriate.
Access support in British Columbia
Roses Life Women Center is based in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. Contact the team to discuss your needs, appointment arrangements and the in-person or virtual options available for your location. Tell us your preferred way to be contacted and whether it is safe to leave a message.
For immediate danger or urgent emergency assistance, contact emergency services. An enquiry to the centre is not an emergency response channel.
Your first enquiry
