Victoria Women's Transition House Society

An amazing resource for those who need it. They’re so much more than a shelter. Women from all socioeconomic backgrounds experience intimate partner violence and they have many resources to help. If you’re experiencing something, even when you’re not sure, call them. They’ll help you figure out what’s happening and how to navigate it. And if you’re even questioning… then it’s most likely true.

Be careful of the people allowed into this place , not all of them are there for the right reasons . Keep your children safe and close to you to say the least

My experience attending Transition House's Older Women's programs was devastating. I was in the Wednesday support group and it was okay at first because we could talk about the trauma that we had experienced. But all of a sudden, that totally changed, and we were not allowed to speak of past abuse, but only about 'positive' ways to recover. It became a very oppressive environment where I was afraid to speak up and did not feel safe to just be myself. In my case, I was treated by the management in a cruel and ruthless manner, with no regard for the harm done to me. Specifically, I was accused of something I never did and when I tried to tell them that I was innocent, they refused to believe me and just kicked me out of the group. They cut off my life-line with NO concern for the damage and harm caused to me and my life. After being through trauma in my own life, I came to Transition House to find healing and recovery. But their callous treatment of me as a client retraumatised me all over again. Victoria Transition House is NOT a safe place for vulnerable women. From Doreen Marion Gee
