A STRONG FEMINIST VOICE IN THE TRI-COUNTIES SINCE 2002

Picture
 The Tri-County Women's Centre is a community based, feminist organization that understands both the need  to offer direct services and programs, as well as to carry out community development and social advocacy as a means of achieving equality for women. The centre covers the three counties of Yarmouth, Shelburne, and Digby in the Southwest tip of Nova Scotia. We offer a high level of service that is used by individual women, youth and their families. It is also a place of referral for other community based, government and health agencies. The centre is a multi-issue entry point for women and adolescent girls.                    
The Women's Centre offers a variety of services including:
  • Individual supportive counseling
  • Programming based on the needs and wants of women
  • Going to appointments with you (lawyer, doctor, court, Community Services, etc)
  • Work on Community Development issues such as youth homelessness, food security, women and tobacco, sexual violence, women's and youth access to community based health services,  and youth and illicit drugs
  • Assistance filling out applications, resumes, or government forms
We strive to be as accessible, reaching women and girls throughout the Tri-Counties by; offering programs and services, satellite offices, a toll free number and a primary location in Yarmouth. By providing the tools to intervene in a crisis women and girls face, we are able to relieve poverty and barriers in their lives and assist them in moving forward in achieving their educational, work, and life goals.
