Did you know that almost 70% of refugee families who stayed in Christie shelter last year were female-headed single parent families?
Did you know that almost 1000 health appointments were held at our on-site health clinic, with the majority of patients arrived being girls and women?
Did you know that last year we held 13 Women’s Wellness Program workshops, to supplement the health and and wellness services offered to women living at Christie?
Our Women’s Wellness Program is a six-week series of health and well-being workshops for women living at Christie, covering topics including parenting, art therapy, nutrition and healthy eating and stress management.
Thank you to the Shoppers Foundation for Women’s Health for continuing to fund this invaluable program in 2025, as part of their $1.75 million investment in community programs that help improve the state of women’s healthcare across Canada. Christie was one of 12 organizations selected for our work improving access to healthcare for women. Read more about the Shoppers Foundation for Women’s Health investment here.
We are grateful. Our next Women’s Wellness Program session begins in October 2025.
