Q: How long can I stay?
A: Maximum stays are 4 weeks for women by themselves and 6 weeks for women with children.
Q: Do I have to pay to stay?
A: No, shelter, meals, emergency clothing and toiletries are provided at no cost to the client.
Q: Will people know I am staying there?
A: No, all information about the women and children who stay here is confidential and will not be given out except with a signed release form.
Q: What is it like?
A: Moose Jaw Transtion House is located in a quiet residential area and looks very much like the other homes around it. It is a six bedroom house with a kitchen, dining room and family room much like a normal family home. There is an indoor playroom for the children and a play structure in the backyard. There are security features to ensure the safety of the families who stay here.
Q: What will happen when I arrive?
A: When you arrive you will be asked to do a short intake interview. You will be asked for a brief overview of your situation and for important information like any medical conditions, emergency contact numbers, health numbers, abuser description and who you would like to be able to contact you. Staff will then show you to your room, give your a brief tour and ensure you are comfortable. Staff will be available to talk or provide other assistance as necessary.
Q: What are the house rules?
A: The first rule is to abide by the "zero tolerance for abuse" policy. That means no discriminatory remarks of any kind, no yelling at your kids, no hitting, spanking or shaming of anyone while you stay in the shelter. If you need information on other ways of disciplining your children, staff will be happy to provide it. While you stay in the shelter you are free to come and go as necessary but staff do need to be informed in order to ensure your safety. All clients are responsible to keep their own rooms clean, clean up messes made by their families and to participate in regular household chores.
