DMSCC

SSCS provides Cold Lake area with a 27 bed emergency women's shelter, 24 hour helpline, second stage housing program, community outreach, and public education... The Helpline was established in October 1978. The goal is to provide a telephone service to deal with crisis intervention, support, and referrals to those that call in. The Helpline is available and monitored 24/7 to provide immediate support and information about services available to all residents of the area. We work in cooperation with local agencies and professionals to aid those individuals experiencing problems... We help callers meet their immediate needs and to talk about pressing concerns. We communicate with acceptance, understanding and care to all callers and our hope is that everyone will feel comfortable and safe to be able to talk about any issues. We believe that this supportive attitude provides an atmosphere in which the callers can begin to examine, understand and cope with their concerns.
