Since 1971, YWCA Monterey County has been providing wrap around services to the community to individuals affected by domestic violence and/or other violent crimes. We offer direct services to survivors of domestic violence abuse and/or other violent crimes. YWCA MC supports survivors by providing therapy services, emergency shelter, case management, housing establishment assistance, financial assistance with security deposit and rent, supportive services, and financial literacy classes. We continue to seek community help with supportive services to provide to our clients as they come to our shelter with no resources, including no clothing or money. Our services are tailored to provide hope, safety, tools and resources to survivors that are ready to take the next steps towards independence. Your donation will help us continue operating our office to continue assisting survivors in need of our services.
Our services benefit adults and children that have been affected by the trauma experienced due to domestic violence. Therapy sessions allow clients to have a safe space to process their emotions and navigate healthy coping mechanisms. Clinicians tailor the services to clients based on age and needs.
Survivors experiencing domestic violence are prone to become homeless with no access to cook or shower. Our shelter provides basic needs such as food, shelter, supportive services with clothing, hygiene items, and case management services. Survivors at our shelter are provided with guidance and resources for other needs. Our housing program helps clients identify safe and stable housing after shelter exit, provides support with housing navigation and retention services.
We offer services all over Monterey County, therapy services can also be accessible via telehealth. Our staff is bilingual, services are offered in English and Spanish.
