Our Shelters
DVANB has 12 member organizations including transition houses and second stage housing. Our shelters are located throughout New Brunswick and provide a wide range of direct support services to those who have experienced domestic and intimate partner violence (DIPV). Services are free and confidential.
DVANB does not provide any frontline support services. People seeking support should reach out to their local shelter organization using the contact information listed here or available by calling 211. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
Resources
In addition to the support services offered by shelter organizations, many government and community agencies in New Brunswick offer services, resources, and programs that may be helpful to those who have experienced DIPV. You can find an overview of these services, resources, and programs here. For more in-depth information or to access services, please use the contact information provided.
Indigenous Women
Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people experience disproportionately high rates of DIPV when compared to non-Indigenous people. Creating awareness about the ongoing violence and ensuring that services and resources for Indigenous people are available is crucial to healing and reconciliation.
New Brunswick has two Indigenous women’s shelters. Additional services and resources are available within the province and nationally. Learn about how DIPV impacts Indigenous people and find information about services and resources here.
DVANB is grateful to be situated on what is today known as New Brunswick, which is unsurrendered and unceded traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi'kmaq, and Passamaquoddy peoples, and is committed to standing with Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people against the severe violence that they face and our Indigenous shelters that work to support them.
