Since 1971, Women In Transition (WIT) has worked to empower women who are endangered by domestic violence and/or substance abuse to make positive changes in their lives, eliminate their vulnerability to oppressive and abusive relationships, and build lives for themselves and their children that are free of substance abuse and violence.

WIT also takes a leadership role in educating the community - from neighbors and friends, to the medical establishment, business leaders, the police, and elected officials - about the linkages between domestic violence, substance abuse, child abuse and community violence in an effort to establish a network that will promote safety and justice for vulnerable women and children.

Women In Transition provides early intervention and prevention services that include telephone counseling, information and referral services, individual and group empowerment counseling, and advocacy for women who are endangered by domestic violence and substance abuse. These interrelated direct services strive to empower women to make positive changes in their lives and live free of poverty, violence and addictions to alcohol/drugs.

All services are provided free, without regard to race; gender; age; marital, social or economic status; cultural or religious practices; sexual orientation; political beliefs; or physical abilities.
