Mission:

The mission of The Women’s Center is to significantly improve the mental health and well-being of all members of the community through counseling, education, support and advocacy.

Vision:

The Women’s Center will continue to be synonymous with mental well-being, and all members of the community, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or economic status, can turn to the Center for counseling support when facing life’s challenges and transitions, or are seeking personal or professional development. Our vision is realized because of our partners – corporate, government, nonprofit and individuals — who work with us to reduce the stigma often associated with mental health services, by promoting the improved quality of life that these essential services bring.
