Specific service delivery includes empowering individuals by offering guidance, a safe space, essential resources to navigating challenging moments; respond to critical incidents; administer First Aid/CPR as needed; access to three nutritious meals per day, bedding, towels, essential toiletries, culturally specific items; use of laundry facilities; crisis intervention and referral support; local transportation if required (for medical legal, or social services appointments); accompaniment and advocacy support services; the provision of life skills development to women receiving services within the house; and a 24-hour staffed toll-free crisis line (Women’s Shelter and Help Line).

Kootenay Haven is a 24-hour 7 day per week operation with program staffing consisting of three shifts. Shifts are 10 hours in duration and full-time staff work 3 or 4 days per week, allowing ample rest days. Program staff have a combined role of supporting women and their children while in residence. The combined role of the workers allows staff to be responsive to changing dynamics of the residents.
