The YWCA is working for Sonoma County

“For over 30 years, the YWCA Sonoma County has offered an array of programs and services designed to support those who have been impacted by domestic violence in their efforts to create violence-free lives for themselves and their children. The YWCA offers a gateway to prosperous new lives of personal fulfillment, family leadership, and community contribution.”

Suzy Marzalek, President, YWCA Board of Directors

As an affiliate of an international membership organization, the YWCA Sonoma County has devoted the past 30 years to empowering women and affirming the worth of all people, regardless gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or ability.

At the heart of the YWCA’s programs are our domestic violence services. We provide a wide range of services to those who have been impacted by domestic violence so they can heal, become self-sufficient, and return productively to the community.

Safety PlanAlways call 911 if you are in danger.

  • Call the YWCA 24-Hour Hotline at 707-546-1234 to discuss with a YWCA Advocate what you can do to prepare to leave, especially how to get your children and pets to a safe place before you leave.
  • Keep an overnight bag packed with money, change of clothes and important documents (driver's license, Social Security card, birth certificates, bank account information, pink slip for your vehicle, immigration papers) for yourself and your children.  Keep it in a secret place or at a friend's.
  • When you leave, make certain your partner is at work, or that your partner will be gone for at least two hours.  It is always unsafe to tell your partner you are leaving and when.
