Hey, I’m Sophie Foster, and welcome to our podcast! Each week, I sit down with local experts to ask the questions we're all wondering about gender-based violence - what abuse really is, when to reach out, and how we can help prevent it—right here in Oxford County. This podcast is brought to you by the women's shelters in Oxford County - Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (DASO) and Ingamo Homes - and funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation Seed Grant. New episodes are released every Wednesday!

Episode 5 - More Than Housing: Ingamo’s Story and the Power of Second-Stage Support

In this episode, we sit down with two Ingamo Homes staff, Joanna Parker, Transitional Support Worker, and Mary Anne Da Costa, the Intake Coordinator, to explore the critical—but often overlooked—role of second-stage housing in supporting survivors of gender-based violence.Together, Joanna and Mary Anne share powerful stories from their work at Ingamo Homes, a second-stage housing program that provides safety, stability, and long-term support for women and children rebuilding their lives. We unpack the difference between emergency shelters and second-stage housing, discuss the barriers survivors face even after escaping violence, and highlight the transformative impact of wraparound supports, from counseling to community connection.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to better understand the full journey of healing after violence—and why housing is only the beginning.Resources & Support:Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (Emergency shelter & 24/7 crisis line)Website: www.daso.caCrisis Line Toll-Free Number: 1-800-265-1938Ingamo Homes (Second stage housing & support)Website: www.ingamohomes.comFollow us on Instagram: @canwetalkaboutthat
