Steps to End Domestic Violence

Steps to End Domestic Violence, formerly Women Helping Battered Women is a community-based domestic violence program formed in 1974. In addition to providing emergency shelter and housing advocacy, Steps to End Domestic Violence offers 24-hour hotline, legal advocacy, children's programs and playgroups, support groups, economic justice and many educational outreach programs.

Our mission is to assist in the transition to a safe, independent life for all those who have been affected physically, sexually, emotionally, or economically by domestic abuse and to promote a culture that fosters justice, equity and safety.

Steps to End Domestic Violence values diversity and works to ensure our services are equally accessible without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, disability or sexual preference.
