Addictions / Substance Use, Advocacy, Family / Parenting, Healthcare Providers, Housing / Shelter, Pregnancy Care, and Victim Services

Provided by Atira Women's Resource Society

Works with mothers to provide comprehensive health care, social and parenting supports for women impacted by substance use and/or violence/abuse.

The Maxxine Wright Community Health Centre supports women who are pregnant or who have very young children at the time of intake who are also impacted by substance use and/ or violence and abuse. Women do not need to have their children in their care to receive support provided there is an ongoing relationship with the child.

Women must be pregnant or have a child under 6 months old at the time of intake. Once a woman has completed intake, they can potentially work with her up to her youngest child turns 4 years old.

The program provides a wide range of women-centered health and social supports, all under one roof. Services are provided in partnership with Fraser Health and the Ministry for Children and Family Development. Supports currently offered include:
