Since 1991, the Shield of Athena has been at the service of thousands of victims of violence in Quebec and beyond, offering shelter and services to vulnerable women and children. The Shield of Athena is a leading advocate in the community, an expert voice in the media and a partner to both provincial and federal governments.
2025 will mark a milestone in the organization’s development with the inauguration of the Second Step Resource in Laval. This will be the Shield of Athena’s fourth point of service, in addition to the emergency shelter, Athena’s House, and the Montreal and Laval offices. Its purpose is to assist single women and moms with their children, victims of conjugal violence, in their transition to autonomy and a life free of violence.
Contact us today to find out how your organization can sponsor our continued efforts to help victims and bring an end to violence.
Your sponsorship at work
Your contributions directly support our comprehensive programs designed to help women and children rebuild their lives free from violence.
Emergency Shelter
Your donation helps us provide immediate safety, shelter, and care for women and children fleeing violence. From personal hygiene products and nutritious meals to safe beds and clean facilities, every contribution helps us maintain a secure, welcoming, and supportive space at Athena’s House—open 24/7 for those in crisis.
Second Step Resource
After leaving the emergency shelter, many women still face major barriers to rebuilding their lives. Donations to our Second Step Resource help us offer transitional housing, food, furnishings, and continued psychosocial support for women and children as they work toward long-term independence, stability, and healing.
External Services
Our work extends beyond the walls of the shelter. Donations allow us to offer critical external services such as art therapy, legal accompaniment, psychosocial counseling, and community referrals. These services help women and children navigate systems, recover emotionally, and regain their autonomy with dignity.
Public Awareness and Prevention
Healing also happens through connection and community. With your support, we’re able to organize seasonal events, group workshops, outings, and wellness-based activities that empower our clients, build resilience, and break isolation. These moments of joy and solidarity are essential to the recovery journey.
