" Womenspace has been providing services to battered women and their children for almost twenty-five years. The organization has grown from a confidentially located shelter and twenty-four hour crisis line to a multi-faceted organization that in addition to basic crisis services supports a strong, county-wide domestic violence council, a publicly located drop-in Advocacy Center, legal advocacy via a collaborative legal clinic, transitional year-long case management services, domestic violence specialists housed in local welfare and child protective service offices, three rural outreach offices, an extensive community education program offering training from the most basic to highly specialized curricula, and a host of collaborative relationships with local and federal partners."
