BC Society of Transition Houses

The BC Society of Transition Houses (BCSTH) is a member-based, provincial umbrella organization that, through leadership, support and collaboration, enhances the continuum of services and strategies to respond to, prevent and end violence against women, children and youth. BCSTH exists to support our membership of Transition, Second and Third Stage Houses, Safe Homes, Long-term Housing and PEACE (formerly Children Who Witness Abuse) and Violence is Preventable programs through training, advocacy, research and resources. BCSTH began with 6 members in 1978 and today we represent and support over 130 members across British Columbia. BCSTH's office is located on unceded Coast Salish territory, shared by the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
