Why is The Women's Center such an important resource to Ridgefield and the surrounding towns? Here are five good reasons:
- The Women's Center provides FREE programs for all ages -- from pre-school to senior citizens. Primary prevention & education programs are provided in schools, colleges, businesses, social & civic groups, and faith-based organizations. Programs include: Healthy Relationships, Anti-bullying, Staying Safe on College Campuses, Gender Images in the Media and more.
- 24/7 hotlines for domestic and sexual violence issues staffed by certified counselors.
- Our counselors provide on-site support for victims at area emergency rooms, police stations and Danbury Superior Court.
- We have a 13-bed shelter, Elizabeth House, at a confidential location to house women and children fleeing violence in their own home (men are sheltered at a separate location).
- We serve more than 26,000 women, men and children annually with individual counseling, group counseling, prevention education, crisis intervention and support services with regard to domestic violence, sexual assault and other major life crises.
