The Mission of the Women’s Resource Center is to: protect, shelter, and empower people impacted by domestic and sexual violence.
The Women’s Resource Center (WRC) is the area’s primary service provider for domestic and sexual violence survivors, assisting residential and non-residential clients with support, advocacy, and immediate crisis intervention. The WRC is the acknowledged area expert on domestic violence and sexual assault and annually provides approximately 150 public awareness, prevention, education and awareness activities for allied professionals and agencies, civic groups and schools.
The WRC serves 166,952 people who live in a four-county region of Northwest Michigan. This region includes Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Leelanau counties and covers nearly 1,700 square miles. Services are provided to anyone, regardless of age, sex, race, religion, ethnicity or income. All services are FREE with the exception of our M.E.N.S. and A.W.A.R.E. programs for perpetrators of domestic violence.
