Published purpose

This 19-month project will address capacity shortfalls and increased demand created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this project will increase the number of employees and phone lines available to clients reaching out to the Assaulted Women’s Helpline. This will include additional lines for Deaf, deafen and hard of hearing communities and Non-English speakers. In addition to the increased capacity, AWHL will be able to increase the number of referrals to other services and the ability to train the staff to support abused women and children’s needs during the pandemic.
