Partnerships



At Rowan House Emergency Shelter, we continue to work towards building awareness and education about family violence and the effects it has upon women and their children.

This is achieved through community partnerships. Community partnerships and donations allows Rowan House to provide additional supports to families victimized by family violence.

Education and awareness about the cycle of abuse, as well as the effects that abuse has upon families, are essential to our work at Rowan House Emergency Shelter.

We continue to strive toward increasing our involvement with schools, community groups, agencies, and media in order to provide the best possible information and education with regard to family violence.
