If you agree that domestic abuse survivors and women deserve support to prevent future violence, here’s how you can help:

1) Find a safe welcoming community at NYWC’s Drop-In Women’s Lounge events. Join fellow book lovers (Dec. 4); celebrate your journey at our holiday party (Dec 13).

2) Engage with our content: drop a heart. Send a post to a friend. Save uplifting reminders for when you’ll appreciate self-compassion.

3) Make a donation if you can. We are raising $20,000 to offer Drop-In Women’s Lounge events in the afternoons AND evenings to support more women.

“Katherine” arrived at NYWC with physical injuries from her violent partner. Six months later, she had separated and gone back to school.

Find out how NYWC programs and services support healing and opportunities for survivors like Katherine.

In this FREE group program, you’ll learn to identify your strengths and opportunities and take steps toward your goals.

Intake begins December 3. The 9-week program will run from January 14 to March 11 at 116 Industry St., every Tuesday from 12: 30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
