About WINGS Shelter:
WINGS (which stands for Women In Need Growing Stronger) saves women and children who are escaping domestic abuse by delivering secure long-term housing and wrap-around support services to help families 24/7. While these fully furnished apartments provide needed shelter for survivors, WINGS does much more than provide a roof over their heads.
WINGS creates a safe and welcoming home for women and children. Our trauma informed approach, intensive counseling, onsite childcare, life skills training, as well as child and youth programs – encourage healing for the whole family. We give women time to process and the tools they need to recover from the horrific trauma they have experienced. Our full-circle healing helps women and children become more stable, access new skills and set a healthy course for their lives.
We deliver our programming with kindness and compassion and provide transformational support that changes the lives of women and children.
WINGS is a non-profit organization located in Edmonton, Alberta. For more info about WINGS, go to: www.wingsofprovidence.ca
