🗓 Mark your calendars 🗓 Can you believe that Giving Tuesday is just one month away!

#GivingTuesday started just over a decade ago as a suggestion for folks to remember to support non-profit organizations during the busy shopping and giving season at the end of the year. It is now one of the biggest philanthropic events for non-profit organizations around the world, including Second Story.

Stay tuned over the next four weeks as we'll be sharing fundraising tips and ideas, and some information about how you can support our work and our needs as a non-profit, community organization!

We've had this question come up a few times recently!

Second Story offers free, one-on-one counselling for women and gender-oppressed people in Lunenburg and Queens counties. Here is how you can access those services and what to expect:

✨Reach out! Call or email us at info@secondstory.ca or 902-640-3044
✨We will ask for basic contact information (phone number, when is best to reach you, is it safe to leave a voicemail at your number)
✨Our intake worker will contact you back within two business days to chat about your needs and your situation, and arrange for supports, including one-on-one counselling and referral to other resources that might be available to you
✨Counselling appointments are available in person (either at our Centre in Lunenburg, or we are able to sometimes travel to other communities), over the phone and via Zoom
✨All services at Second Story are FREE, confidential, and available to women, girls and gender-oppressed people in Lunenburg and Queens Counties.

​Nobody should be cold this winter.
But unfortunately, for a variety of reasons many South Shore kids, youth, adults and families will be this winter.
If you have warm winterwear that you no longer use or need please consider donating them to Coats for Kids – Teens and Adults Too located in the South Shore Centre/ Bridgewater Mall. This free store is open to anyone needing warm winter wear. At the Coats for Kids Store folks have the opportunity to choose the perfect coat, accessorize it with a pair of gloves, some mitts and add a hat and scarf to finish off the look.
The store is open 7 days a week during Mall hours.
This year we have a particular focus on acquiring coats, snowsuits, sneakers, boots and socks for children and kids aged 12 and under.

Second Story staff have recently undergone Naloxone (Narcan) training and there is now a Naloxone kit at the Centre!

Did you know that Naloxone kits are free and can be picked up at most pharmacies in Nova Scotia? The training is a simple 20 minute video at naloxonetraining.com. Just watch the video, do the short quiz and bring the electronic 'certificate' that you are given upon completion to show to the pharmacy and receive your free Naloxone kit.

Naloxone reverses an overdose from Opioids and saves lives. It is easy to use and anyone can learn how.

Consider taking this quick and easy training and picking up a kit from a participating pharmacy. It could save someone's life.
