Since 1988, Chrysalis has assisted over two thousand women to achieve empowered freedoms from addiction, violence & poverty. Our organization and programs are based on a feminist, client-centered philosophy that inherently recognizes the complex interdependence between women’s experiences of addiction, violence, abuse, exploitation, poverty and homelessness – as well as the larger social culture and systems through which women are further pathologized, medicated and/or oppressed. The comprehensive post-detox continuum of care Chrysalis Society provides (1st-stage post-detox stabilization, 2nd-stage semi-independence, and a housing subsidy program)remains the lowest-barriered resource for women in the region, and is accessible to many of our province's most marginalized women. As a result of multiple barriers relating to concurrent mental health and/or medications, many of the women we serve would otherwise have no access residential care and supports.
