Established in 1980, Discovery House Family Violence Prevention Society (âDiscovery Houseâ) provides a continuum of care to women and their children fleeing domestic violence. Discovery House facilitates transitional housing â offering longer-term, safe places for women and children to call home while they begin to rebuild their lives. Discovery House provides women access to counselling support and programs to ensure they never return to abusive partners and mitigates the effects of trauma in children to prevent the cycle from repeating.
