Miramichi Emergency Centre for Women Inc.
We believe that violence against women is unacceptable and that nobody deserves to be abused. We believe that children should not have to witness violence, nor live in fear. We believe that each woman has the right to decide for herself the direction of her life, according to her own values and needs. We offer support with the choices she makes.
We offer a 24 hour telephone crisis line (506) 622–8865 or 1-800-888-836-1016 for individuals seeking information, support, and assistance regarding any issues involving domestic violence.
The Miramichi Emergency Centre for Women Inc. provides a safe and supportive residence 24 hours per day, 365 days of the year for women who are in an abusive relationship. Women may come with or without their children. Girls wishing to utilize our residential services must be 16 years or older if not accompanied by their mother. Boys aged 15 years and younger are welcome to accompany their mothers. Boys 16 years of age and older and dependents of their mother will be assessed on an individual basis. Note: We are a wheelchair accessible facility.
We also provide two Outreach services to women. An Outreach Worker can visit you to help with doing a danger assessment, develop a safety plan and/ or provide support. Call Jessica at (506) 778–6496 or if you are an Aboriginal woman off reserve or live in Burnt Church, Eel Ground and Red Bank call Jeannie at (506) 627-4743.
