Helping Spirit Lodge Society

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

We at Helping Spirit Lodge Society stand with survivors and all of those affected by domestic violence. This month, and all months we continue our work to support individuals and families that are affected and forced to flee dangerous situations. We are proud to support our relatives in the Lower Mainland💜

Welcome to October!

As the seasons change and we move into the new month, we continue our commitment to supporting our relatives and community members facing housing instability and homelessness.

This month brings new opportunities to connect and engage, provide meaningful support, share resources and strengthen community partnerships across our outreach efforts and make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.

Thank you for being part of this important work. Let's make October a month of connection, compassion, and positive impact. 🍂🏠🤝

We honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors, their families, and communities. We remember, we listen, and we continue to stand together in the ongoing journey toward truth, healing, reconciliation, and justice. We are here for you!

Every Child Matters.

On September 30th we honor the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day🧡 We honor the Survivors of Residential Schools and remember the children and relatives who were never able to return home.

On this day we also acknowledge the lasting impacts of the Residential Schools system and colonialism. We hope that you will take this day to acknowledge the intergenerational trauma, hardships, and all other impacts on Indigenous peoples, families, and communities across Canada.

Our head office will be closed on September 30th to honor this day.

“In Canada, 128,175 people were victims of police-reported intimate partner violence in 2024, with women and girls accounting for 78% of victims. Statistics Canada’s 2025 survey further found that 13% of women experienced emotional, psychological or economic abuse by an intimate partner in the previous year, demonstrating that the scope of domestic violence extends well beyond incidents reported to police.” stats Canada 🇨🇦

The Harvest Moon represents culmination, reflection, and gratitude. It asks you to pause and honor what you’ve created before turning your attention toward preparation and introspection.

It’s a powerful time to reflect on your personal growth, celebrate your progress, and offer thanks to the people, forces, and practices that have supported you. This is a time to honor the fruits of your labor, express gratitude, and release what no longer serves you.

Please join us for our Full Moon Ceremony, in honor of the Harvest Moon.
