Message from our Executive Director
1/ Last year, A Woman’s Place was able to provide almost 9000 nights of shelter to domestic violence victims and their families, more than 11,000 hours of counseling and therapy to adults and children, legal support

2/ through accompaniment and representation to almost 400 individuals, and access to the 24/7 hotline more than 4400 times.
By making a gift this year, AWP can continue lifesaving services for those in need. My hope is that because of you, we won’t have to turn away the caller

3/ ... who is in danger because we don’t have the funding to support their need for shelter. Because of you, we can continue to help children and adults process the trauma of domestic abuse.
We truly cannot do this work without you.

The BW👠NICE #BucksCounty Chapter, along with Diane Simovich, Founder of BW👠NICE, presented Marianne Lynch, Executive Director of @AWPbucks, with a check in the amount $5500, which were the funds raised during the chapter’s inaugural Red Shoe Event on Oct. 7.
Our shelves are full and we are so grateful to companies, and local businesses like Greco Family Chiropractic and @Aon_plc Ft Washington office for choosing to #GivetoAWP!
Thank you from all our families & survivors.

What makes a home safe and comforting?
Family, shelter, and essential goods all create a sense of home. But not all children and adults have a comforting experience.
By giving $100 to AWP you can give 1 night of shelter in our safe house for a child or adult.

2/ Choose one night or multiple nights.
Our small but mighty team is committed to providing a safe shelter with warm beds, hot meals, 24/7 on-site support, and access to services such as school, medical and legal help.

We ALL can use support with understanding how emotions show up in our bodies and how to process those emotions constructively.

SWIPE>> to check out the wheel that our Education Department uses in our school programs!
1
This wheel helps us to see how our emotions show up in our bodies. We can use cues from our bodies to figure out what we are feeling. We can also observe the body language of others to help us identify what they may be feeling.

When we understand our emotions, we can express them in healthy ways. This helps to keep us and others safe and respected.
