Shelter for Women and Children

Who is TimeOut Fyn?

TimeOut Fyn is a shelter facility with high-risk security per the Danish Social Service Law §109. The temporary facility has 12 beds for women and accompanying children up to 17 years old.

TimeOut Fyn is a shelter for women and children with guards stationed around the clock. You can, therefore, show up at any time. We can pick you up (and any children) anywhere in the country, so you're safe and secure on contact, whether you're from Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, or anywhere else.

If you bring an iPhone, Apple computer, or iPad, you must turn off "Find my iPhone" on all your electronic devices, preferably before arriving at our shelter facility.​

Who do we shelter?

TimeOut Fyn shelters those who have been subject to physical, psychological, digital, sexual, financial, and/or material threat and/or violence in their close relationships or experienced comparable crises in familial or intimate relationships.

TimeOut Fyn also shelters those who have been deemed "particularly endangered" by a safety evaluation. This refers to people whose lives have been threatened or whose partner/family are likely to seek them out.

Unfortunately, TimeOut Fyn is unable to take in women with active substance abuse (alcohol, drugs, or pills), women suspected to have a severe mental illness (psychosis, paranoia, etc.), or wheelchair users and others with limited mobility.​

Life at TimeOut Fyn

While you stay at TimeOut Fyn, you will have your own furnished "living room" with a double bed, closet, couch, dining setup, TV, fridge/freezer, kettle, and microwave. It is possible to get two connected living rooms if bringing more than three children. Some of the living rooms are slightly shielded if we feel that you might need this.

You are responsible for keeping your "living room" clean.

TimeOut Fyn offers excellent facilities and activity spaces, both indoors and out, for accompanying children.

You are responsible for any accompanying children.

During your stay

You (and any accompanying children) will have a dedicated contact person, who is either a social worker or educator. All staff members have an acknowledging, inclusionary, and holistic approach, so you can find out what you need in your current life situation.

You will be offered conversations and have the option to process acute crises and trauma to help you stand by your decision, learn to take care of yourself, and lay a strong foundation for a life free of violence. You and any accompanying children will also receive three main meals.​

After your stay

After your stay, it is possible to receive aftercare – in the form of limited CTI management – pending an agreement with your home municipality. Should you start CTI management, you will be put in contact with a CTI employee from the shelter, who will follow you as you move into your own home.


If you have any questions about a potential stay, you are always welcome to give us a call, send us an email, or show up at the facility (with an appointment) for supportive consultation or guidance.​
