News & Notes

The Milwaukee Women’s Center’s Older Abused Women’s Program (OAWP), founded by advocate Carol Seaver in 1992, was one of the first domestic violence programs in the nation to address the specific needs of older women. Its goal is to reduce and eliminate violence and abuse in the lives of women ages 50 and older who have been victimized by their intimate partners or adult children.

The Milwaukee Women's Center's Nevermore Batterers Prevention and Intervention Program is an educational and supportive gathering of men who have a history of abuse in their relationships, as well youth who may be at risk of participating in domestic violence.
