Woman's
Place provides a safe place for women who have experienced domestic
violence, sexual abuse, or the violence of gender discrimination.
There are no appointments at Woman's Place, just an openness and willingness to be there for women in need. Any woman is welcome, for any reason. All visits are kept in strict confidence; only first names are used.
Woman's Place is not a shelter but a safe place where women can talk, be heard, be understood.

- hospitality and companionship

- support groups for: domestic violence, spirituality, addictions
- life skill classes (budgeting, reading, writing, etc.)
- woman's issues workshops
