From Hotline to Shelter – The Intake Process
Wednesday, October 22nd at 8:00-9:30 AM
Join TWC Director of Shelter & Transitional Living, Jessi Trauth, to learn more about who we serve and why, what goes on in an emergency shelter, and how we try to make it feel like home for the hundreds of people who utilize it each year. Thankfully, most people will never have to stay in our shelter, but this can often lead to myths and misconceptions about what it looks like to stay here. We know many will picture a cold institution filled with heartbreak and sorrow.
At The Women’s Center, our goal is to make our shelter feel as close to home as possible so that clients and families feel safe to rest, decompress, and experience moments of joy. We want our residents to feel like they are in a safe haven, somewhere they can start their new life free from abuse.
