Mission

Une organisation accueillante et sécuritaire pour toutes

We provide a safe, welcoming environment for families and older women who are victims of domestic violence. Through our day services, we also help families who are dealing with abuse but who don't see shelter services as an answer to their needs.
We provide an attentive ear, support, referrals and resources for those who identify as women and for children who benefit from our shelter and day services so they can become more independent and regain control over their lives.
Inter-Val 1175 also works toward more structural social change in order to eliminate domestic violence by organizing awareness and training activities on spousal abuse and its effects on victims and children, healthy and unhealthy relationships, and power imbalances in relationship.
