This looks like: 

• Creating a space that is already a home when they open the door – furnished and with little touches that let moms and kids alike know that there is care and love within the Armagh Community. 

• Art therapy sessions, homework assistance, social/emotional learning — focused programming that helps children heal from the effects of witnessing and experiencing violence in their homes, setting them on a better path forward. 

• Counselling, self-care and parenting workshops — learning opportunities for women to care for themselves, build their confidence and better support their families’ emotional health and well-being. 

• Life skills training, budgeting help, income assistance and follow-up support — learning essentials required to live on their own in a safe and sustainable way. 

• Joyful moments — simple curated or spontaneous events and happenings that create core memories for the future. 

It can also look like introducing a martial arts program when we have a sudden cohort of 14 teens and pre-teens when in prior months there was focus on toddlers and preschoolers!  

Your monthly gift provides comprehensive, tailored support that empowers women and children to transform their lives, allowing us to adapt and deliver essential services so they can plan their path forward with confidence and hope.
