Door 17 has been opened this morning to reveal:
Elizabeth Fry Society of Edmonton http://www.efryedmonton.ab.ca/
The Elizabeth Fry Society works to aid women and girls at risk of becoming criminalized or who have been through the justice/corrections/criminal to empower them. They offer a huge variety of programs, preventative through to post-release support.
Programs like Employment Services help women and girls find meaningful work, navigating the unique barriers they may face. This can include one on on assistance with developing a resume to finding clothing for an interview, as well as working in partnership with the Bissell Centre (Door 1 on the Giving Advent Calendar) to find employment at Bissell.
Elizabeth Fry has staff and volunteers in the provincial court house available on the spot to assist people in gaining access to Duty Counsel (pro bono lawyers.)
It's impossible to detail all that Elizabeth Fry offers without writing for a few hours.
Suffice to say, E Fry, as it is commonly known, is a lifeline to a new life for countless women in Edmonton.
