Advocacy and Support
The FWRC plays an integral role in our community, building awareness, serving on committees and working to make change through empowerment of all women today.

Legal Advocate Program
The Legal Advocate Program was developed by Interval House of Hamilton in 1992 and has since supported thousands of women in, or leaving an abusive relationship. The Legal Advocate Program assists women in navigating today’s complicated legal systems including police, legal aid, family law, criminal law and immigration law. Through resource provision, our Legal Advocate can also help you to find the right lawyer for your needs. Accompaniment and support to any court proceedings is also be available. Your safety and privacy are always a priority.

Individual Counselling
Changing your life is a process, not an event. Our compassionate counselors will assist you in identifying your options so that you can make informed life decisions. Specialized counselling for women who have, or are experiencing abuse is also available. Confidentiality is paramount.

Employment Counselling
In combination with our Women Getting Work Program, individual support is available to provide you with a full assessment, job searching skills, résumé writing, computer skills, interviewing skills, and how to make a positive, lasting impression both in the interview and as an employee.
