SFU Women's Centre
The Women's Centre provides a safe space for all women at SFU, offering a Lounge area open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, study spaces, couches, full kitchen and free phone, and a Resource Office for campus and crisis referrals and community resource information. For students with families, one of the Women's Centre's best resources is The Single Mother's Resource Guide, which is available as a reference book from the library. The Guide includes crisis numbers and lots of information on legal issues, income assistance/disability, where to find low cost or free items for mothers, and much more. Students are also encouraged to drop by the Women's Centre in-person, where friendly and supportive staff can help look up other resources and point them in the right direction.
