Dear Friend of PWJC,
As a result of the ongoing development of the
Covid-19
public health crisis there have been significant and numerous
changes to our daily lives
. The necessary measures to contain the spread of the virus impacts everyone. Nonetheless, we are cognizant of the fact, that for those
sectors of our population
which are
vulnerable there is increased risk for harm
. At Pace Women's Justice Center, we have
pivoted our model of service
for the immediate circumstance to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and elder abuse, while
observing the current safety protocols
that are in place.
Here's how we've pivoted during this crisis:
- While our offices are closed to the public, we continue to serve the community by utilizing our Legal Helpline Model of service, to provide critical legal services as this public health crisis unfolds.
- We are continuing our community education and training programs by providing them on audio and webinar platforms.
- We are actively communicating with our partners, supporters, clients, media and general public regarding any changes relating to the service we provide.
How can you help?
Consider doing any or all of the following:
- Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for the most up to date information on our hours and anything that impacts the victims we service in Westchester and Putnam counties.
- Share the information we are providing on social media and our contact information with those that you think may need us or want to support us as we continue with our mission.
