About Campbell River Transition Society

CAMPBELL RIVER AND NORTH ISLAND TRANSITION SOCIETY (CRNITS) is a registered non-profit organization formed for the purpose of providing safe shelter and services for women and their children fleeing violence on northern Vancouver Island. For over thirty years the Society has worked to improve on and implement new services directly related to the issue of violence against women. Our services include immediate response for those in imminent danger and longer term response for those working to heal the effects of violence and abuse.

CRNITS is a charitable organization registered with the Canada Revenue Agency.

ANN ELMORE TRANSITION HOUSE is a short-term emergency shelter which provides safe shelter, support services, food, clothing and basic necessities for women, and their children, who are at risk of abuse/violence. There is also a recovery program which includes withdrawal management, supportive recovery and stabilization programs.

ROSE HARBOUR TRANSITIONAL HOUSING is a personal change program that includes time limited subsidized housing and specialized services for clients, with or without children, who are impacted by homelessness, abuse, violence, and/or substance misuse. Programs include in-house life skills and empowerment workshops, SMART recovery, RentSmart, yoga, health services, and a variety of nutritional opportunities. Other specialized services are offered as needs dictate.

CHILD AND YOUTH SUPPORT SERVICES are offered at Ann Elmore House and Rose Harbour. A Child and Youth Support Counsellor combines a variety of techniques to help mothers and their children address the impact of violence and abuse in their lives.

OUTREACH SERVICES are available to women who are not in a residential program. Services include support groups, supportive counselling, advocacy, court support, referrals and, in some remote communities, access to a safe home.

Our COMMUNITY ALLIES program matches a volunteer mentor with one of our clients to provide a support person who is not a profession, but a caring addition to the woman’s support team.

TRANSITION USED FURNITURE AND MORE thrift store is a social enterprise created to provide funding support to society programs. The store utilizes many volunteers and supports pre-employment skill development. Located at 830- 13th Ave in Campbell River – come check it out, there is something for everyone.
