Overview

Mission

The women's resource center (wrc), is a not for profit agency dedicated to providing crisis intervention services to women and children who are victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault, thus promoting positive changes in the community and in the lives of the victims of domestic violence and children we serve.

What it reported doing in 2024

Wrc provides shelter for victims of domestic abuse through several areas of focus. Safety is our number one concern for our clients and their children. A personalized safety plan is prepared and reviewed with each client. We provide advocacy and assistance which can include employment and housing. We provide domestic violence education and support. Our domestic violence educators help our clients make decisions, discuss problems, heal from the abuse, and set goals for their future. Support groups help our clients get support from other victims, discuss concerns and get the support needed to make choices. In addition to these services to clients, we provide education through a safe start program for healthy relationships for youth ages 9 to 18. Our hand2hand program provides supervised and monitored visits and safe exchange program.
