The Cridge Second Stage Program

New beginnings

You and your children deserve a life without violence. The Cridge Second Stage Program is a support program with accommodation for individuals who self identify as women who are working to rebuild their lives after intimate partner violence. We also have several units specifically to support newcomer families.
