Residential Program

This program serves women 16 years of age or over and with or without their children. Women are eligible if they are experiencing any form of abuse in an intimate or familial relationship, as assessed by our workers, and who have no other alternate safe place.

The crisis phone lines at Women's Crisis Services are available 24/7 to discuss abuse concerns as well as to provide support and guidance in how to identify and deal with abusive relationships. Workers facilitate the admission for those women seeking safe shelter. Once at the shelter, the support is ongoing and advocacy continues around legal needs, housing, parenting and transitioning toward independence for themselves and their children. We offer a food and nutrition program, child and youth program and groups to help women move beyond violence. Workers also assist women with safety planning and referrals to community resources if deemed appropriate. For immigrant women whose first language is not English, Womens Crisis Services offers interpreters and has a language line available for immediate responses.
