Welcome
  
     
  The DMSCC is a non-profit charitable organization.  
 
  • We are a residential emergency shelter for abused women with/without dependant children who are leaving situations of family violence, or who are in crisis.
  • We offer support, information and follow-up to women in order that they may better recognize their options and utilize opportunities to build a better future for themselves and their families.
  
  Philosophy  
 
DMSCC believes that all persons have inherent worth, and the right to respect and dignity.
This includes:
  • The right to security and protection under the law
  • The right to live free of assault, abuse, and violence
  • The right to alternatives to remaining in a violent or abusive environment
  • The right to make informed life decisions among a choice of alternatives
  
  Vision  
 
All community members have the skills and knowledge to choose a violence-free life.
  
     
  Mission  
 
The Dr. Margaret Savage Crisis Centre is a leader for the prevention of, and intervention in, family violence.
