Safe Centre of Peel

We were delighted to welcome Adaoma Patterson, Director of Community Service Investments at United Way Greater Toronto! Thank you, Adaoma, for taking the time to visit and for your continued commitment to building stronger, safer communities. @PeelPolice @UWGreaterTO

Our Board Chair, Sumeeta Kohli, and Executive Director, Shelina Jeshani, share a little about why this month matters and how The Safe Centre is here to support women in our community. If you or someone you know needs support, please know you are not alone. We are here to help.

November is Women's Abuse Prevention Month! Together, we can challenge stigma, and support those experiencing abuse. The Safe Centre stands with survivors and works alongside our community partners to build pathways to safety, healing, and empowerment. We are here to help!

At the Safe Centre, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We extend our heartfelt thank you to all of our incredible partners for their unwavering commitment, compassion, and dedication to building a safer, and more supported community.

The Safe Centre brings multiple services together under one roof, creating a coordinated and compassionate response for those affected by violence. Our team provides confidential, and coordinated support for folks walking through our doors. scopeel.org

We often show kindness and understanding to others, but forget to extend that same compassion to ourselves. When you're facing a difficult day, try speaking to yourself with patience instead of criticism. You deserve the same care and understanding you give to those around you.

Resources and support systems are accessible in Peel and reaching out can be a crucial first step towards safety and recovery. If you or someone you know is experiencing violence or abuse, free support is available. Find a list of resources at peelregion.ca/breakthesilenc…

The Safe Centre has two locations that offer access to coordinated, trauma-informed services in a welcoming & compassionate environment. If you or someone you know is experiencing intimate partner violence, we're here to help you explore your options and connect with supports.

Making time for activities that bring you comfort or joy is an important part of caring for your well-being. Whether it's reading a book, creating something, listening to music, or enjoying a favourite hobby, taking time to do something you love can help reduce stress.

We were happy to welcome Paul Brandt, Founder and CEO of @NIMCAlly, Chair of the Governing Board of Alberta Centre to End Trafficking in Persons, and renowned Canadian country artist. Thank you, for the meaningful conversations around creating safer communities for everyone.

A heartfelt thank you to Peel Regional Police (PRP) and Metro for partnering with us for Cram the Cruiser Food Donation Drive, an opportunity to collect food and essential donations for the individuals and families who turn to the Safe Centre for support.

At the Safe Centre, we bring together services and community partners to ensure anyone experiencing intimate partner violence, has access to compassionate, trauma-informed support. Our goal is simple: safety, healing, and hope for every individual and family in our community.

This Thanksgiving, we're reminded of the importance of compassion, connection, and community. The holiday season may bring joy for many, it can also be a difficult time for others. A kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or simply checking in with someone can have a meaningful impact.

The Safe Centre of Peel was proud to be part of the Safer Together Conference, hosted by Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. We had the opportunity to speak about supporting survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) through an integrated service delivery model.

Life can feel busy, overwhelming, and unpredictable. Taking a few moments to slow down and create a sense of calm can help you reconnect with yourself. Whether it's enjoying a warm drink, taking a few deep breaths, listening to calming music, or simply sitting in silence.

Today, let's celebrate the wisdom, stories, and contributions of older adults in our community. Happy National Seniors Day!

We’re excited to welcome Bon Ami Community Service to the Safe Centre Collaborative! @bonamics We’re grateful to have Bon Ami join our collaborative network and look forward to working together to strengthen support and create safer, more connected communities.
