Would you like support to feel less overwhelmed or process traumatic experiences? Our counselling programs support women, trans women, and non-binary folks who have experienced abuse, violence, or trauma and all genders who have experienced any form of sexual assault or abuse.
If you’ve ever faced abuse, you know it can be stressful and even traumatic. The outreach program is here to help women, including trans and non-binary people, so you don’t have to go through these tough times alone. We’re here to give you one-on-one support.

Since 1979 the Fernie Women’s Centre has been serving the communities of the Elk Valley, which include Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford and the South Country. Our aim is to raise the status of women, act as a referral and drop-in center, offer support to women and their families, and to inform and educate the public around issues concerning women. The Fernie Women’s Centre will strive for equality and justice for all women and work for the removal of barriers to women’s full economic, social, cultural, legal and political participation.
