Participate in ongoing professional development opportunities as required.

Qualifications

About Juniper House

Juniper House was established in 1985 to provide a safe refuge for women and their children who have experienced abuse. We maintain a 15-bed shelter, 24-hour crisis line. Women in Yarmouth, Digby, and Shelburne Counties can receive counseling, programs, advocacy, referrals, and outreach services.

We also provide programs in the community aimed at preventing violence and abuse. We talk with women so that they might overcome their fears, receive information and support. They do not have to go through their situation alone and will be safe and assured in making decisions and leaving their abusive situation.
