Since our founding in 1975, the Women's Center has been a safe haven as the sole provider of services to victims of domestic and sexual violence in the Northern Fairfield and Southern Litchfield County areas.

Services Offered

Counseling services

The Women's Center provides individual and support group counseling for victims of domestic and sexual violence as well as those dealing with other major life crises. Services are also available for family members and significant others.

Counseling services provide critical intervention, opportunity for healing, and assistance in the development of client-centered safety plans which minimize risk and danger level. Support group counseling helps to lessen feelings of isolation, self-blame and denial. In groups, clients are offered the opportunity to learn from each other and to express and better understand their own experience.

Advocacy services

Advocacy services are provided on both an individual and system level. Through the advocacy program the client learns to navigate medical, criminal and legislative systems. The Center's advocacy work extends to legislative, criminal justice, medical and educational institutions to obtain changes in laws, procedures and quality of response.

All services and programs are free and confidential. We are a non-profit organization.
