Great resource when self representing during a situation of domestic violence especially when you are not fully aware of all of your legal rights.

When people think of shelters they think something that covers or offers temporary protection but the women's aware is a home . Home to me is where I feel safe, secure, heard and accepted . Women's aware is An organization built up to help women in need like myself . Coming into the women's aware safe placement was terrifying for me considering I was leaving a domestic household behind to go into a place I knew nothing about . I was greeted with the warmest welcome , The staff is great . They provided me with all my necessary necessities (a warm blanket , pillow, rags towels , body wash soap, shampoo & conditioner, tooth brush and bed ) along with these things they provided me with excellent resources. People who could help me get even further . Entering into the women's aware safe placement has to be one of the best decisions Ive made in a long time , I am a new women because of this decision I am stronger, I am happier , I am not a victim but a survivor this was something I learned living inside the women's aware home. I have also met other wonderful women in my situation inside the women's aware. I was assigned 2 amazing case workers that met with me every week to discuss my case , they ensured I never felt lost or had any questions regarding my case . They listened to me , they guided me the best way they knew how and they have never made me feel small or ignored .. I would recommend women's aware 10000 times over . Thank you women's aware staff and community . Most importantly thank you Maggie you guys are doing an amazing job with the program .

Horrifying experience. These people don't care about women's domestic violence issues. They just carted me off to the hojo for more senior citizen entertainment

This place is god awful & needs to be SHUT DOWN. If I could give 0 stars I would. They never call back when they promise they will. They did not care I was a homeless single mom with 3 children, a victim of DV with a final restraining order- mind you I had a police report that my ex husband said he can have me killed whenever he wants, & I was suffering from severe PTSD, anxiety & depression. One time I called to get legal help because my ex husband kidnapped my children & refused to return them, so I called for LEGAL HELP and because I was crying they thought I was going to kill my self & sent cops to my house. I was attacked & grabbed by the officers and forced to go to a mental hospital. Once the doctors saw the messages from my ex husband they apologized and released me. DO NOT DONATE TO THIS PLACE BECAUSE LORD KNOWS WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING. & WOMENS AWARE DO NOT RESPOND BACK WITH YOUR TYPICAL FAKE CONCERN. This agency needs to be throughly investigated.

The best experience so far. I am very much satisfied with their service. Staff are very kind and loving. They understood my situation. they have a heart for women. They returned my calls, and they guided me. Both case workers were very helpful. They stood with me, and they supported me. May God bless then.

Some of the women that work there really seem to care. Others are power hungry and almost seem to enjoy controlling abuse victims. They make seeing your children, getting to your job, and everything else you have to do a nightmare. They turn a blind eye to drug use and women bringing their abusers around the safe house, but if you challenge them they’ll make some mundane thing a huge deal. They’re inconsistent with rules. They’re inconsistent with contact. They don’t tell you what’s going on with your case, they slack off so applications lapse (and don’t even tell you), and claim to offer support groups, but in 6 months i hadn’t seen one. The legal advocates don’t show up to court, and if you have the tro placed on you, they won’t even help you. Definitely goes to show how little these people are trained in domestic violence. They don’t care about you.

Woman aware took me in the end of sept. I was so happy I was free..Today they are evicting me from the hotel i stayed in. Tonight its 30 degrees outside I asked where will I go I'm homeless already. She said the hotel will take my stuff and pack it I told her I'm at work she didn't care. They don't care if you been abuse. I have been beaten to death and they are kicking me out. An non profit organization. For domestic violence. They just leaving me hanging. And yes I'm a black American. I'm starting to believe the others on this page about racist. This is not fair I have to sleep in my car tonight. .I thought yall suppose to help me not tear me down like my abuser did .They also know I have health issue and they still terminated my services. .

I love you very much, thank you for your patience and knowing how to understand my suffering, my fear. And my despair Thank you for loving my children and being there when I never thought I would be in the hospital with my son. Thank you so much that I owe you. Because now I live happily with my children and a nice apartment that is safe and protected. Q faced me alone in court. They told me not to go out alone and I went out looking for help and I did it with the help they gave me to defend myself. I love them so much my children still remember her. I pass by there and he wants to enter to hug her. May God bless you from the bottom of my heart for the help you give to women who are victims of violence. I will always have them in my heart. Gisela and the other blonde and worker as a child and young clerk to hug my daughter I love you and the boss thank you for everything. ?

I worked with Women Aware for a few years in different capacities and truly enjoyed my time there. There were many opportunities for growth! It was challenging to hear such traumatic stories daily but the work environment was inspiring. The staff is made up of fierce advocates dedicated to the mission and making an impact in their corner of the world, every single day. I would highly recommend the agency as a powerful career move for advocates in the field or those interested in learning more about it. I would also strongly recommend Women Aware for domestic violence services. They go above and beyond for their clients!

Terrible program, I was referred to them and I was immediately told they couldn’t relocate me because my abuse wasn’t recent. My abuser gets out of jail soon after I was threatened by him and his family that I was going to be killed. They showed no acknowledgment of it, because I was not abused recently, they don’t care if he was getting out of jail or what he says he was going to do, they won’t help me at all.
