“What is Abuse?” and other Questions We Receive at Shelwin House

Since domestic abuse affects all women differently, Shelwin House is available 24 hours a day to answer your questions.

Domestic abuse doesn’t always have to involve physical force; interpersonal violence can include any pattern of behaviour that is used to gain or maintain power and/or control over an intimate partner or family member.

Interpersonal violence can come in the form of emotional, sexual, psychological, spiritual, or economic abuse, and can include threats, actions, and intimidation.

How Much does it Cost?

The services of Shelwin House are provided absolutely free of charge to women and children fleeing abusive relationships.

What do I Need to Bring?

While you can bring personal items (excluding furniture), we do provide meals and emergency clothing supplies.
