In Episode 6, Smart Dolphins Virtual Chief Information Officers Paul and Ty talk with Susan Howard, development director of the Victoria Women’s Transition House (VWTH).
Susan shares the ways in which the organization has had to make major adjustments in how they deliver services. Some of these changes include, relocating women and children from their regular communal housing to a hotel to allow for social distancing. Other transitions include setting up staff to work remotely and implementing a digital platform so that women will continue to have access to counselling.
In the midst of these operational changes, the organization has had to deal with an increase of calls from women fleeing violence here on Southern Vancouver Island — a reality that is unfortunately, very common in times of crisis.
Susan gives thanks to the community for the ongoing donations and highlights the generosity of local businesses who are helping to raise funds for the VWTH.
