Effective Practices in Sheltering Woman Leaving Violence in Intimate Relationships
Description:
This research project acknowledges the depth and breadth of service and commitment that shelter staff offer the women that come for support. Together, the staff and shelter users navigate the legal, health, employment, immigration and social services systems. Shelter staff are the experts when it comes to woman abuse and their work is rarely recognized for its complex and often dangerous nature. This project grew out of a need for voice and a desire to document what we intuitively know - shelters save lives.
