Helping Spirit Lodge Society is the leading Indigenous organization for women in the Lower Mainland to alleviate family violence and enhance community wellness through a traditional, holistic approach.
Spirit Lodge is a first stage transition house providing women and children fleeing domestic violence a safe and supportive space to stay. Here, women have access to food and clothing, and while Spirit Lodge honours many Indigenous teachings, we respect the cultural diversity of our clients, and look to meet the needs of those in the space.
Sage Transition House is an 18-bed transition house that provides safety and support to women and their children fleeing abusive situations. Shelter, food, clothing, personal items, referrals, advocacy, individual support and support groups are offered for up to thirty days. SAGE House is staffed 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Due to the nature of the program, the location is not public.
