Nos programmes

At this support group, we collectively strive to uphold a safe(r), judgment-free space for support and discussion on a variety of topics related to conjugal violence such as the violence itself, trauma, resilience, and the process of recovery. This group will be hosted for 2 hour sessions on Monday nights at a wheelchair accessible location in NDG. Each week will alternate between a French session and an English session.

Our family coaching sessions cover a wide range of topics, including bonding with your child, introduction to positive forms of discipline, and tips on how to communicate effectively with daycares, schoolboards and other institutions. Our certified family coach, Grace Campbell, takes a personal approach that invites participants to share their own experiences, and speak honestly about the many challenges that are a daily part of motherhood!

Women on the Rise go the extra mile to bring some magic and fun into the lives of the families with whom we work.

Participants are introduced to several different preservation techniques (canning, fermentation, drying, etc) over the course of a growing season, using fresh and local bounty. Our summer food preservation sessions will be running for the third consecutive season starting this July, and will operate on site.

We work with multiple partner organizations to provide emergency food relief for families. The first step is to contact us for an appointment with our food security officer.

Children between the ages of 2-5 are welcomed to join us twice weekly in this program that supports children’s natural development through socializing and introducing routine. Activities include crafts, reading, singing, and free play (indoors and outdoors). Our early childhood educator takes a personal approach to meet the needs of each child holistically. This program serves as a respite for mothers as well, affording them the opportunity to prioritize their needs.

This group is a space for parents to freely share their experiences of new parenthood, pregnancy, childbirth, infant loss, miscarriage, and more. Join us and find support through community. It's free and drop-ins are welcome!

The support group meets every Friday morning, 9:30 - 11:30 am, at the Walkley Centre, 6650 Chemin de la Cote Saint Luc.
