Hi folks. I'm an expert from the relationships page, and I need information on how to find Women's Shelters in various parts of USA, Canada, Britain, etc. Site addresses or phone no.s please. Would love it if anyone knew national registries, if they exist. The wider reaching, the better. Also, the sooner the better. Thanks. See you on our expert bulletin board once it gets up and running.

You need to contact the family crisis center in your area. This is something that isn't made public because these shetlers are trying to keep the women safe once they leave abusive situations. Usually, they won't even let their immediate familes know where they are located. The local police departments and Social Service Department also know where these shelters are located. If're you're working with women in crisis, they might release these numbers and addresses to you.

Dear Liveagain

I realize the serious need for secrecy, but if I am unable to find a shelter for a woman in crisis I am not able to fulfill the role she has asked me to play. This is why I asked for websites and telephone numbers only. I hope it would be obvious that I am asking for a very real reason, and though I cannot prove over the internet I am kosher, I think one look at my track record on this site will convince you I am. Still, point taken. Thank you rawgod
