Welcome to the Lurana Shelter

Lurana Shelter is a first-stage emergency shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence. It provides safe shelter in a confidential location, immediate crisis intervention, food, clothing, transportation and child support.

At Lurana Shelter, our main objective is to facilitate empowerment of the women and children we serve. We seek to empower by encouraging information based decision-making; by increasing awareness of the cycle of violence and the effects of abuse; by working to reduce the problematic symptoms experienced by child witnesses; by strengthening the relationship between the child and the non-abusive parent; by encouraging positive behaviour patterns and attitudes in the children; and by helping mothers attain the tools that will enable her to build a safe, nurturing environment for her children.

Are you Being Abused?

Does the person you love...

Threaten to hurt you or your children? Yes No

Say it's your fault if he or she hits you, then promises it won't happen again (but it does)? Yes No

Put you down in public or keep you from contacting family or friends? Yes No

Throw you down, push, hit, choke, kick, or slap you? Yes No

Force you to have sex when you don't want to? Yes No

Just one "yes" answer means you're involved in an abusive relationship. If so, you're not alone and you have choices.

No one deserves to be abused.
