MacAdam House is located in Glace Bay and provides access to second-stage housing for women leaving abusive relationships.

Maggie's Place, Amherst, offers healthy relationship classes. It has referred clients to Autumn House and will provide a space to be used for supervised visitation.

The Memory Lane Family Place is located at 22 Memory Lane in Lower Sackville and has been delivering programs and services since early 1994.

All projects and programs are sponsored by the Sackville Family Day Care Association, a non-profit charitable organization, established in 1980. It is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Projects are administered from the Family Place, under the direction of highly trained and qualified staff.

Parent advisory committees support program management. Participant involvement and community partnerships are core elements in service delivery. The centre works from a capacity building perspective, where children and families are embraced in a supportive environment.

Projects offered from the MLFP include the Family Home Day Care Program – the Family Support Project – the provincially-licensed Memory Lane Family Place Preschool – and the Community Action Program for Children. 

All programs are free of charge, with the exception of the subsidized Family Home Day Care and the Preschool Programs.

Life can be tough. It’s okay for everyone to reach out and ask for help.

Most calls for support are from women, and we want to make it easier for men to reach out for help too. That’s why we are now offering a Men’s Helpline, available 24/7 through 211.

Someone is always ready to listen. It’s free. It’s confidential. It can help. Call 211 to connect.
