“ What the people say.”

Quotes from those impacted by Agape House.

“As a domestic violence survivor, I know what an important role therapy has played in my recovery journey. I was incredibly grateful to access free counseling for my child through Agape House, as the trauma of our family situation obviously affected them too. Amy is absolutely wonderful at what she does, and is a huge asset to the shelter. During their time together, Amy and my child worked on topics such as self-esteem, self-compassion, boundaries, and emotional regulation. I saw positive changes in my child’s behaviour and attitude that were very encouraging. I also appreciated the flexibility with booking appointments and that Amy was always happy to be available to talk to us between sessions if we needed her. The children’s counselling program is a wonderful addition to the services provided by Agape House and I know it helps many families the way it helped ours.”

“If it wasn’t for the help I received from Agape House, I would be one of the missing or dead women in Manitoba today. I came to you in 2000 and with the help of your staff, I was able to put my life back together for myself and my children. I have been able to go back to school, earn a counselling certificate, and now give back to my community as much as I can. I have met and married a wonderful man who has never imagined hurting another human being; he has helped me parent my adult children as his own. We now have nine grandchildren and are blessed with a second chance at life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I continue to work with families at risk with a Families First program, I am a board member for a Women’s Resource Centre, I work with new immigrant women in my community, and do some private counselling free of charge for women. You are always in my prayers.”

Why book a guest speaker?

Gender-based violence touches far more people than you’d think. Let’s open the conversation.

We have seen how important it is to educate people of all ages on domestic violence issues, and let them know about our shelter services and programs. That’s why we offer no-cost public education workshops, presentations, and services throughout our catchment area.

We’re always willing to have a conversation with your group, school, or organization.
