Creating a community of strength, support, and wellness.
Since 2000, WSW has provided support groups for women experiencing domestic violence, substance use, and the incarceration of loved ones. Our efforts have evolved to provide human services in under-served communities in the Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties).
Disadvantaged communities often grapple with a cycle of poverty, limited opportunities, and intergenerational trauma. These cycles can be deeply ingrained, making it difficult for individuals and families to escape their grip.
Breaking these cycles is crucial for building stronger, more equitable communities. It empowers individuals with the tools and resources to overcome adversity, achieve their full potential, and create a better future for themselves and their children.
WSW plays a vital role in this endeavor. Through preventative workshops, support groups, and holistic support services, WSW equips women and families with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to thrive.
Empowering Women: By providing work experience and training opportunities, WSW empowers women to become financially independent, pursue their career goals, and contribute to their families' well-being
Strengthening Families: WSW fosters healthy family dynamics through wellness workshops, supportive coaching, and support groups. These programs equip parents with the tools they need to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for their families.
Addressing Trauma: WSW recognizes the impact of trauma on individuals and families. Through therapeutic interventions, support groups, and peer support, WSW helps individuals heal from past experiences and build resilience.
Women Strengthening Women has had a positive impact not only on my family member but as well as the family unit. Someone that I deeply care about was going through a really hard time, she didn't expect to get to this place but it just sort of happened where she just felt like she was at rock-bottom, she lost her self and she couldn't figure out a way out. It was really hard for myself to see my loved one going through what they had went through, but I knew that there could be a way out and I knew that things could change and I knew that this wouldn't last forever. With the help of Women Strengthening Women, this organization was able to help this person that I care about; a person who went through domestic violence abuse. They were able to give her hope and give her support which is something that she needed, they provided her resources and a community; women strengthening women community. Not only did it help my loved ones but they helped me as well and I would recommend it to anyone who may need it. What this organization does and stands for is truly amazing. The lives that they are able to transform and renew is priceless.
