Violence Against Women Intervention and Support Services offers a continuum of services to help women and children find safety and support when leaving violence. If you or someone you know is looking for safety these programs can help.
For a safe refuge, support for women and children, 24/7 phone support, referrals to community resources, and more. Our services are offered free of charge.
For community based support including referral and accompaniment to medical, legal and other service agencies, information and support to empower women who may prefer to navigate these systems and services on their own, individual as well as group and peer support.
For individual and group support for children, ages 4-19, who have witnessed violence, mother survivors of violence, and non-offending parents and caregivers. We offer a safe and supportive place to walk alongside those we serve to follow them on their healing journey. Check out our information on counseling, art therapy, groups, and summer day camps.
The Y Women's Shelter relies on support for the community to be able to offer critical services to women and children fleeing violence. There are many ways to support the Y Women's Shelter and support programs including a financial gift, donations of new items, donation of a Life Starter Basket, donations of used items and holding a fundraiser on our behalf. Give safety. Give possibility. Give hope.
