Interval House embraces challenges and changes. The organization values and encourages new opportunities, being a sector leader and colouring outside the lines. We think it’s important to ask ourselves the hard questions: Are we doing what we set out to do? Do the programs and services we offer help women become self-sufficient and break the cycle of violence? As the world changes around us, we need to pivot and change. Are there gaps in our services? Should we fill them ourselves?

Why is what we do important?
Leaving an abusive relationship is not the end of the story. Living a full life after trauma requires help and guidance to address all those unique barriers in a society that is not designed for the most vulnerable. Our goal is to be creative and innovative with our programs and services to help address these barriers and empower women to face their challenges with knowledge, skills, and confidence.
