Emergency Shelter

Safe Housing When You Need It Most

Leaving an unsafe situation can feel overwhelming. Our emergency shelter provides a safe, supportive environment for survivors and their children who are fleeing domestic violence and seeking stability.

The shelter is designed to offer more than just a place to stay—it is a place where survivors can begin rebuilding their lives with dignity, safety, and support.

Services Available Through Shelter

• Safe, confidential emergency housing
• Safety planning
• Crisis intervention
• Case management
• Assistance with housing and community resources
• Children’s services and support
• Referrals to community partners
• Advocacy and emotional support

Our staff work alongside each resident to identify goals, access resources, and develop plans for long-term safety and stability.

Rape Crisis Center Services

Compassionate Support After Sexual Violence

Experiencing sexual violence can be overwhelming and isolating. Our Rape Crisis Center provides confidential, survivor-centered services designed to support individuals in the aftermath of sexual assault, abuse, stalking, and related trauma.

You have the right to make your own decisions about medical care, reporting, and next steps. We are here to provide information, support, and advocacy—without pressure or judgment.

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Exams

Our Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) program provides specialized medical forensic examinations performed by trained nurses who understand the unique needs of survivors. A SANE exam may:

• Address immediate medical concerns
• Assess and treat injuries
• Provide preventative medications when appropriate
• Collect forensic evidence if the survivor chooses
• Document injuries and findings
• Connect survivors to advocacy and follow-up services

Receiving a SANE exam does not require a survivor to immediately report to law enforcement. Our team can explain available options and support survivors in making informed decisions.

Available 24/7. Sexual violence does not occur on a schedule, and neither does our response.

Domestic Violence Education Classes

Education That Promotes Safety, Awareness, and Change

The Women’s Resource Center’s Domestic Violence Education Program provides participants with information and tools to better understand domestic violence, its impact on individuals and families, and the characteristics of healthy relationships.

Through structured educational sessions, participants explore topics such as power and control, communication, boundaries, conflict resolution, accountability, and the effects of violence on partners, children, and communities. Our goal is to increase awareness, encourage personal growth, and promote safer, healthier relationships.

Program Topics May Include

• Understanding domestic violence and abuse
• Power and control dynamics
• Healthy communication skills
• Boundaries and respect
• Conflict resolution
• The impact of violence on children and families

Victim Advocacy Services

Support, Information, and Guidance

Experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking can leave individuals navigating complex systems and difficult decisions. Our advocates provide trauma-informed, survivor-centered support to help individuals understand their options, access resources, and move forward at their own pace.

Advocates do not make decisions for survivors. Instead, they provide information, resources, and support so individuals can make the choices that are right for them.

Advocacy Services Include

• Crisis intervention
• Safety planning
• Protective order assistance
• Court accompaniment
• Criminal justice support
• Medical advocacy
• Housing and resource referrals
• Assistance accessing victim compensation resources
• Information and referrals to community services
• Ongoing support throughout the healing process

Whether the violence occurred recently or years ago, advocacy services are available to help.

Building Safer Communities Through Education

Prevention begins with knowledge. Through education, outreach, and community engagement, the Women’s Resource Center works to increase awareness, challenge harmful beliefs, and promote healthy relationships throughout our community.

Our educational programs are available for schools, businesses, healthcare providers, faith communities, civic organizations, and community groups.

Educational Topics Include

• Domestic violence awareness
• Sexual assault awareness
• Stalking awareness
• Healthy relationships
• Consent and boundaries
• Teen dating violence prevention

Professional Training Opportunities

We also offer specialized training for professionals who work with survivors or who want to strengthen their understanding of trauma-informed practices. Trainings can be customized for healthcare providers, educators, social service professionals, law enforcement personnel, community leaders, and workplaces.

Together, we can build safer, more supportive environments for everyone.

Counseling Services

Healing Happens at Your Own Pace

The impact of violence can extend far beyond the immediate crisis. Counseling services provide survivors with a safe, supportive space to process experiences, build resilience, and move toward healing.

Our counselors understand the effects of trauma and work collaboratively with clients to support their individual goals and needs.

Counseling May Help With

• Processing traumatic experiences
• Anxiety and depression
• Grief and loss
• Relationship concerns
• Building coping skills

A Survivor-Centered Approach
