Welcome to YWCA Durham - A Turning Point For Women

 

We're deeply committed to meeting the needs of women and their children in Durham Region who experience violence and abuse. If you need help right away, access our services here.
 

Everyone needs a place to call home

We offer 4 different types of housing from emergency shelter to long term rent-geared-income housing. Our housing services are unique in that they are paired with access to counselling, employment and life skills programs that prepare women for successful transition into the community.

 

The early years matter

The right support in the formative pre-school years sets kids up for success in kindergarten and beyond. We administer an Ontario Early Years Centre and offer parent and child programming and recreational opportunities at our Family Program Centre.

 

Our place can be your space

Our historic Adelaide House offers a unique meeting place for special events, business functions, and social gatherings.
