Provided by Sooke Transition House Society

Provides services and a shelter for women and their children healing from trauma and violence experienced.
The following programs are offered:
  • Annie’s Place (Transition House): A safe, clean, temporary emergency accommodations for women and their children leaving abusive situations. It is a place free from the threat of violence. Staff at Annie’s Place will provide you with emotional support and personal assistance. They can put you in touch with agencies and resources offering legal, medical, housing or financial help. Call the house directly for intake and access.
  • Stopping the Violence: The (STV) Counselling program is a safe place for women to share their experiences of abuse, examine the ways they have been impacted, and begin to heal. The counselling approach is a combination of education around the dynamics of abuse in relationships, safety planning, and supportive counselling.
  • PEACE Program: The PEACE Program is for Children and Youth between the ages of 3-18 who have experienced violence. PEACE programs use pshycho-educational methods including group and individual counselling. The program offers a safe and supportive space for participants to explore their responses and express themselves in relation to their experiences.
  • Victim Services Program: Victim services, provided in a timely manner, play a critical role in reducing the harmful effects of victimization and re-victimization. Our staff respond to call outs from RCMP and hospitals to provide initial critical incident defusing, provide critical incident stabilization, and to liaise between victims and emergency personnel. Staff also provide criminal justice information and support, safety planning, information and referrals, and emotional and practical support.
  • Outreach: The outreach worker provides direct services to clients including needs assessment, information and referrals, safety planning and local transportation assistance. The worker also acts as a client advocate and accompaniment when appropriate and possible for medical, legal or social service appointments.
