The mission of Women's Support Services is to create a community free of domestic violence and abuse through intervention, prevention and education. We offer free, confidential, client-centered services focused on safety, support, advocacy and community outreach.
We believe that domestic violence and abuse is a pervasive cultural problem. In our efforts to eliminate it, we believe we must:
- increase public awareness and understanding of domestic violence and abuse.
- work toward social change that empowers women.
- engage all members of the community in our efforts to end violence in the home and in relationships.
Women's Support Services (WSS) is a non-profit organization that has provided critical services to victims of domestic voilence and abuse in the towns of Canaan, Cornwall, Kent, North Canaan, Sharon, Salisbury and nearby New York and Massachusetts since 1981. Our services include: a 24-hour crisis hotline; emergency shelter; individual support counseling for adults and youths; legal, medical and social service advocacy; support groups; and community education and prevention programs. All WSS services are free of charge and totally confidential.
