The Transition House staff will provide support from the moment you arrive and help you achieve the goals you set for yourself. With financial matters, case managers will help you navigate programs like Social Assistance, NB Housing, CPP disability, employment, and assistance with income tax returns. When searching for housing, various options are available, and our staff is here to provide you with the necessary resources. It is also a perfect time to take advantage of our in-house programming to gain insight, support and guidance that helps assist your decision-making. Crossroads may provide assistance in sourcing household items, furniture, moving services, and food boxes. We have specialized staff who are trained to help non-status, refugee, and immigrant (NSRI) women access the services they need to live safely in our community.
At Crossroads for Women, we have trained team members who are able to assist you in applying for an Emergency Intervention Order (EIO) . Please reach out via our Crisis Line for more information and to determine eligibility.
An EIO is an order made under the Intimate Partner Violence Intervention Act on the application of someone experiencing intimate partner violence. These orders may contain various temporary conditions to enhance the safety of victims. They may include, for example, provisions for the applicant to temporarily stay in the family residence (apartment, house, mobile home, etc.) while the partner (the Respondent) must move out.

Crossroads offers a Pet Safekeeping Program that provides a temporary home for the pets of women fleeing domestic violence. Supported by PAW, this program ensures that pets are placed in safe and caring foster homes while their owners stay at Crossroads' transition house. Additionally, some of our second-stage housing options permit pets, with certain limitations.
The Child and Youth Support Program introduces education and early intervention for children and youth who witness and/or are victims of violence.
For younger children, this includes daily programming that enriches the learning experience through play, sensory, and art programs.
The older children are encouraged to participate in maintaining a healthy body and a positive way of processing their feelings. There is also an introduction to healthy relationships, as well as basic life skills programs to encourage self-growth and increase self-esteem.
The support worker also provides parenting programs to empower mothers and help educate on childhood development, behavior intervention, as well as assertiveness parenting. Programs are tailored to each child, youth and mother’s personal needs.
