Many of us in service provider professions work with people who have been the victim of a sexual
assault...whether we know it or not. The Brockton Area SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) and
Womansplace Crisis Center are hosting a complimentary breakfast symposium for all professionals who
want to learn more about supporting our clients who are survivors of sexual assault. Click

MISSION: Womansplace
Crisis Center (WCC) is committed to working toward the elimination of violence
against women and children through direct services, education, and social
activism. The community
education program offers trainings and workshops designed to
inform the public about the myths and facts surrounding sexual assault
and domestic violence and to empower women and men to take action towards
ending violence of all forms. Presentations with age specific information
can be designed for middle and high school students, college students,
adults, and service providers. The volunteer
program offers an extensive training twice a year to help prepare
our volunteers to do this work. Womansplace Crisis Center provides multi-cultural
services in order to meet the needs of the diverse populations in
our area. Individual counseling, support groups, education programs,
and all types of advocacy are offered in Spanish, Cape Verdean Creole,
and Portuguese. The bi-lingual/bi-cultural staff provides outreach
to area communities and strives to create awareness and sensitivity around
cultural differences.
Womansplace Crisis Center provides services to survivors of domestic violence
and sexual assault. Our goal is to provide a safe place where survivors
can express their feelings, make decisions, and begin to take control
of their lives. We utilize an empowerment model of healing. Womansplace
Crisis Center offers a wide range of services to children, teens, adults,
and older women. For battered women and their children we offer
these domestic
violence and dating violence services: a hotline service 24
hours a day, seven days a week; emergency shelter; individual and group
counseling; legal advocacy; and, crisis intervention at hospitals, police
stations, and courthouses. For women, teens, and children we offer
the following sexual assault services:
