What is the Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation?
The Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation works to break the cycle of domestic violence through advocacy, awareness, community engagement, education, and safe housing.
We work toward this mission through Jessie’s House, our 35-bed, all-gender emergency shelter; Eileen’s Place, our second-stage housing program; and Inspire, our school-based program that helps youth build healthy relationships and develop confidence.
Our work also includes a 24/7 crisis and intake line, community outreach, public education, and advocacy to support individuals and families affected by domestic violence.
What is Jessie’s House?
The 9,000 square foot, 35-bed facility provides trauma-informed services to families and individuals of any age or gender fleeing abuse.
More than just a bed, we provide a broad range of services including outreach, case management, court support, and specialized supports for children. As a trauma-informed facility, we aim to meet residents where they are, reducing as many barriers to service as feasible.
We prioritize individuals and families from the Sturgeon Region and St. Albert, and support people from outside the region as space allows.
