Since 1975, YWCA Sonoma County has been the County’s leading provider of domestic violence services in our community. One in four women will experience domestic violence in their lives, that’s more than breast, lung and ovarian cancer combined. YWCA Sonoma County operates the only confidential safe house in Sonoma County for women and children who are fleeing domestic abuse. “A Special Place” Therapeutic Preschool offers children living with violence or neglect a safe setting five days a week.
Additional services include support groups, counseling and legal services, family advocacy, community education and professional development training. Through these programs, the YWCA Sonoma County is able to serve families in our community who are struggling with the difficult issues of domestic violence and sexual assault assisting them in creating lives free from violence.
“In addition to the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter, people deserve respect, dignity and safety to conduct productive lives and care for their children. YWCA is honored to be a leader in the efforts to address needs so many people take for granted,” said O’Connell.
