Children living with their parent in our domestic violence shelter or addiction recovery program are also offered age-appropriate support so they can begin to process and heal from trauma in a healthy way.
Sexual Violence Services helps adult and child survivors of sexual assault process trauma resulting from recent or past sexual violence so that survivors are empowered to move past barriers and heal from their experience.
Dress for Success empowers women with low income to prepare for employment and healthy financial management so they can reach economic independence and exit poverty. The Dress for Success program works with over 50 local referral partners to provide professional suiting services and employment and financial coaching services to women with low income.
Clinical Therapy Services are offered to people who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, addiction, or related traumas with a focus on processing their experiences and emotions in a healthy way so they can move past barriers to healing. YWCA therapists also facilitate support groups for residents of YWCA’s domestic violence shelter and addiction recovery program.
Community Education presentations educate youth grades 4-12 about dating violence, sexual violence, and digital safety so they can make healthy relationship choices. Presentations are available for adults as well about domestic violence and diversity to empower adults with prevention and intervention knowledge.
Racial Justice programming helps adults in the Fort Wayne community to understand the dynamics of racism so that community members are empowered to promote racial justice and value diversity.
