Today, the YWCA provides safe places for women and children in crisis and offers supportive services to all people who are victims and survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and human trafficking. Some of those services include counseling, case management, emergency shelter, therapy for youth, and housing assistance.
The mission is to empower women, eliminate racism, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people, supporting all people across all gender spectrums. The YWCA operates programs at several sites throughout Western Mass. and provides shelter to survivors of domestic violence and their children in a modern facility with state-of-the-art, computerized security.
