Juniper House

Juniper House is a refuge established in 1985 to provide a safe haven for women and their children who have experienced abuse. We offer a range of services including a 15-bed shelter, a 24-hour crisis hotline, supportive counseling, and outreach offices in Yarmouth, Shelburne, and Digby. Our goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment where women can rebuild their lives, gain confidence, and learn to trust others. We also provide assistance in navigating the legal and social services systems, ensuring confidentiality, and offering information and support. Additionally, we conduct community programs to prevent violence and abuse. Our mission is to empower women by providing them with the necessary resources and support to make informed decisions and live free from fear.
