THE AJAX-PICKERING WOMEN'S CENTRE INC.

The Ajax-Pickering Women's Centre provides counselling, support groups, and advocacy services for women and girls facing abuse, trauma, and crisis in Ajax and the surrounding Durham region. The centre offers confidential one-on-one counselling, peer support programs, and community education to help survivors heal and rebuild their lives. Staff and volunteers work with local shelters, hospitals, and social services to coordinate care and connect clients with housing, legal aid, and employment resources. The centre also runs prevention programs in schools and workplaces to address gender-based violence at its roots. By combining crisis intervention with longer-term counselling and practical support, the Ajax-Pickering Women's Centre addresses the complex needs of women navigating difficult circumstances.
