Lanark County Interval House & Community Support, with immense support from the local community, has launched a Second Stage Housing option for women who have experienced domestic violence and are now in need of safe and affordable housing. Women and their children can reside in this affordable housing for approximately 1 year. They will have support and resources as they navigate toward a safer future, empowered to self-determine their outcomes and direction.

“This is an amazing opportunity for women and their children. The community has embraced the initiative and the local leadership is inspiring as women’s needs continue to be valued and recognized across sectors both public and private, and within our communities.”

Erin Lee, Executive Director

During the intense months leading up to the opening of Second Stage, many, many hands picked up paint brushes, ran to the store, moved items, found items and so much more. One day, with a big crew from Tiree on site working away, this lovely woman, Emma-Rose, appeared with her ukelele and shared this original song.
 
Emma-Rose has dedicated this song, Warrior, to the women and children surviving violence. Thank you, Emma-Rose, for sharing your wisdom through song.
