United in Healing: Breaking the Cycle Together

What if the place you call home was not a safe space and you lived in constant fear?

What if your spouse or significant other was abusive and caused you physical and emotional harm?

For many women and families in our community, these experiences are often the norm, not the exception.

United in Healing: Breaking the Cycle Together

A division of Community Advocates, the Milwaukee Women’s Center is a resource in our community dedicated to helping men, women, and children break the cycle of violence and find safety, support, and hope for the future. Our holistic approach addresses each person’s unique experiences and needs through programs and services that are provided at no cost to the participant.

We support survivors in finding their path to healing by helping them locate safe shelter, stabilize their household, and provide trauma-informed support that honors their strength and resilience. We also offer programs for men with a history of violence who want to learn new behaviors in their relationships. In this way, we are working to break the cycle of domestic violence for good.

Comprehensive case management, individualized care and counseling, substance use disorder treatment, children’s programming, support groups, safety planning, financial, legal, and medical advocacy, housing assistance, resource, and referral information, are critical for families that seek safety, health, and healing. Those that desire a new way of life without violence need our help.
