It felt close to home, friendly staff, felt protected, helped me to find a new place to live safe.
i couldn't believe how terrible this Hiatus house treated me when i needed their help, the present day supervisor that they have, she is a racist, very mean person, she instructed all the staff workers and the social workers there in this Hiatus house not to admit me or try to help me in any way, such an Evil racist canadian woman , normally canadians are loving people but this people here treated me like trash!! i was running for my life from an abusive relationship, but because i was a black woman with child, they completely refused to offer me a room, they said, their supervisor instructed them not to help me and to say they had no rooms available, but the next day, a white woman got accepted and she was offered a room, i strongly recommend that this supervisor get fired, to whom this may concerned, thanks ANOTHER WOMAN came from the united states and she was admitted , but i was told because i came in windsor from another province, i could not be helped
I was put in a situation when I first arrived where I was obligated to give information I was not comfortable giving. Having been through extensive amounts of abuse, and having experienced emotional, psychological and physical violence, I am obviously dealing with a lot from that trauma, and I felt completely disrespected and pressured by the staff there. When people go through serious trauma and turmoil, making the person feel like they are simply a number going through the \system\ and regular old \process\ lacked a great deal of humanity and/or compassion, which I believe people in the service to battered womyn should possess. Not only does their paperwork and process feel highly authoritarian and limiting for people of all kinds of backgrounds and experiences, the staff do not make people feel safe, respected or cared for. I would never ever recommend this place to anyone. They kick womyn in need of help to the street. BUT for windsor this is the only help group available to womyn. So, I believe there are many womyn in the area going without help who want it and seriously need it. This was my only option, my only opportunity in this city to get the help I need. And because of them, and their limiting system, and inconsiderate staff I will be one of the womyn who goes without. If I was suicidal....they would have bigger outcomes weighing on them from their actions. Telling a womyn who has been beaten for 3 years, and is obviously experiencing \battered wives syndrome\, that in 30 years in the industry you have never had a womyn protect their abuser....not only is rude to say, but entirely ignorant because time and time again womyn of abuse protect their abusers. This place is a joke. Windsor needs a better option. One that is actually going to do womyn in need some good.
This place has been immensely helpful to me!
