Supporting you, in creating a new path…

Everyone is deserving of safety

Our mission at Cedar Woman House is to provide confidential, safe, and judgement free supports to women and their children experiencing or at risk of violence. 

Our wraparound program encompasses grounding, cultural safety, and life skills to ensure women and their children are nurtured and protected.

“The team at Cedar Woman House are so amazing, friendly, hardworking, loving and very supportive, when I was there I felt safe, it honestly felt like home.”

 

“As a vulnerable individual who had just finished a treatment program, I was in need of a safe and supportive environment to continue my sobriety and build a foundation here in Nanaimo. Cedar Woman House provided this for me. During my stay, I was supported with job training, resume building, housing, and being connected to mental health supports. The staff at Cedar Woman House are welcoming and compassionate, with a focus on encouraging healthy personal growth.”
