Outreach to increase awareness
The abuse took a heavier toll on my mind, body and spirit than I realized or wanted to accept. Looking back a year and a half ago at the woman I was, I want to cry. I wish I could hug her, heal her, convince her to walk away. Convince her she is worth something.

The Women’s Center is attuned to those of low and moderate income, Black, indigenous, people of color, and non-English speaking members of the community.
We create a welcoming, compassionate environment for survivors to begin a journey of safety, hope, and empowerment.
“I’m grateful for the time you spent to acknowledge me. For your honesty and your dedication to your work. Most importantly how you are aiding in ending the stigma behind domestic violence. It encourages me to share my story.”
