FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - Safety

Q. Will my abuser be able to find me at the Transition House?
A. Your stay at our Transition House is strictly confidential. We do not give out information about anyone staying at our Transition House or using our services without their permission.
Our address is also confidential for the protection of our clients.
In order to maintain your safety, you should be extremely cautious about letting people know if you are staying at the Transition House. Women staying at the Transition House are asked to not disclose the location of the house. We ask that anyone (besides staff) coming to the Transition House call prior to coming. However many people in our community know where the TH is so if your partner really wants to find out, there is a good chance that someone would inform him of the location. If this is a concern for you, please let us know and we will create a safety plan with you. We also have an alarm system that we set at night.

Q. How do I make a safety plan for myself and my children?
A. Safety planning is extremely important when you are leaving an abusive relationship. For more information on making a safety plan, visit www.shelternet.ca and click on “Make a Safety Plan” in the upper right corner of your screen.
