A woman showed up to my home this morning after a domestic dispute, and was absolutely no help. wearing her pajamas and shower cap and an attitude, like she just was upset to even be here in general. This is so heartbreaking to see people like her who's actions showed clearly that she did not care. this is the worst agency. uneducated young people without a care in the world about peoples and families lives. I will seek further action. if you need help do not call this agency they do not care and the way they dress and attitude will show that.

My advice to woman is get the help you need early to prevent a long term future situation I was forced to attend programs to woman helping woman after my child died at the hands of her father I wish I would have reached out for help before then I live everyday with regret so I beg you ladies please take the help that’s here for you I was in denial about the domestic violence relationship and my family tried everything to save me I was looking for that family like most women do I also had a surviving child that children services to from me so I was trying to get her back I learned a lot from woman helping women services and I have successfully been able to stay out of violent relationship this happened 20 yrs ago but I must share with you my surviving daughter is currently in a domestic violence relationship as we know generational curses but I told her get out I’m begging and pleading to any woman who wish to survive leave life goes on

I contacted the agency for advocate support after my ex had already been arrested because my landlord had served me a notice to vacate the premises (it's illegal to evict someone because of domestic violence or crime committed against them). When I explained the situation the first response was if I wanted referral to a shelter... Which makes no sense in the situation as I wasn't trying to escape a situation and I was still occupying the house. What I wanted was someone to mediate with my landlord so they wouldn't file an eviction and I could stay in my home. It took about a half hour of stupid before I was referred to the fair housing board who was perfectly efficient and helpful. I felt like the person I talked to didn't listen at all to what was going on or lacked any sense of what an appropriate way to handle the situation was. From past experience I know that the kind of service I got today would have been very disheartening and difficult if I was younger, less comfortable speaking up and diaagreeing and/or having trouble processing things as a result of trauma and emotional upset like I imagine most of those they serve are and that is disappointing to me.

If you would like to do something that could impact more than one person at a time, this is the best place to volunteer, donate, and support. This is that time, that every Woman needs our help, protect the rights to their bodies, their choice!
