About Us
In 1981, a group of concerned citizens from Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, and rural areas of Strathcona County met to understand family violence and its impact on our region. They quickly learned the depth of the problem and mobilized quickly. In July of 1982, we incorporated as the Strathcona Shelter Society Ltd. and, just two years later, opened the doors to A Safe Place. Since our opening, our shelter has supported more than 25,000 women and children.
Are you experiencing a crisis?
The counselor who answers the crisis call will listen, answer your questions, and provide support, as well as directions to the shelter if you need to stay with us.
There are many ways to support A Safe Place. Help in a way that makes sense for you.
A Safe Place offers the opportunity to obtain ongoing training, advancement, and a great work-life balance.
An important part of the healing process is sharing our stories. Your story may also help other women who are being abused, through showing how you were able to cope and get stronger.
