ABOUT WAYPOINTS
Waypoints has been helping individuals and families affected by domestic, family and/or sexual violence and abuse since 1982. Their staff and volunteers assist in rebuilding lives by implementing crisis intervention and a range of support services, while acknowledging the multitude of issues facing survivors of abuse. In 1987, when Waypoints, then known as Fort McMurray Family Crisis Society, first opened its doors, our Unity House Women’s Emergency Shelter had a capacity of nine beds. Today, more than four decades later, the revamped Unity House features 45 individual bedrooms and proudly hosts our region's pioneering Sexual Trauma Support Services Centre. Our newest addition, our Child & Youth Advocacy Centre remains dedicated in providing a nurturing environment where individuals and their families can chart their path forward with confidence.
