It has been brought to our attention that google has listed the homeless shelter as "temporarily closed"  while we wait for them to fix their mistake I wanted to post to ensure everyone is aware the shelter is open for admissions.  You will be screened at the door using the Ontario Governments COVID-19 screener.  If you have questions about the services offered at the shelter please call 705-474-1031.  We are open 24 hours a day.

I am thrilled to report on the excellent work of the Nipissing Attendance Centre, a program of Crisis Centre.  Last year, in addition to their standardized programming, they provided gender specific programming to almost 100 students in grades 7-12.  The topics include:  self-esteem, personal growth and self-care, stress management, anti-bullying/cyberbullying, being role models and allies, safe dates and sexual consent.
Providing guidance and support to teens is an essential part of helping them develop into mature, well-adjusted adults.
This fall the Attendance Centre will continue to offer programming to vulnerable youth.  Check out the program's summary on the website for more information!
