“Unfortunately, our data and lived experience as supporters to those dealing with domestic violence mirrors what is being seen across Alberta, Saskatchewan and the world at large – that women and children are bearing the brunt of increased isolation, fear, stress and violence at home with those who abuse them due to this pandemic. The Lloydminster Interval Home remains safe and open to those who need shelter from violence in their homes. We have increased our already stringent health and safety protocols in response to COVID-19 to ensure we remain a safe and essential service to the community. Please call us for help and support 24 hours day seven days a week; we are there for you.”
-Angela Rooks-Trotzuk, CEO
