Mission Statement
The YWCA Women's Crisis Center affirms the rights of all people to non-violent living. Our purpose is to reduce domestic violence and its consequences by sheltering and protecting victims and by helping individuals develop positive relationship skills. We also seek to remedy the conditions that make violence, particularly against women and children, so prevalent in our society through advocacy and community education.
Description
The YWCA Women's Crisis Center provides support, education, and resources to victims of domestic violence in our community. The YWCA operates a 24 hour a day shelter and crisis line, as well as outreach services and support groups. Clients are linked with community resources and are provided advocacy to transition from a life of violence to a life of peace.
