Our Mission
To provide holistic care to empower women and families who are experiencing abuse to live safe, independent and healthy lives.
As a division of Community Advocates, the Milwaukee Women’s Center provides comprehensive services and treatment for women, men, and children whose lives have been affected by domesticviolence, substance abuse, mental health issues and poverty.
The agency began in 1980 as an emergency shelter for battered women and children seeking safety from violent partners. Over time, our services have evolved to meet the unique needs of our consumers.
Today, we provide ongoing intervention, prevention and treatment services to more than 1,000 women, men, and children each year. In addition, 12,000 individuals receive assistance, information and/or referrals through our 24-hour crisis line.
