The Women's Center

The Women’s Center of Montgomery County was established in 1976 as a community-based organization dedicated to the empowerment of women. With our primary focus on eliminating domestic violence and other forms of abuse, the Center has been volunteer-powered since its inception.

Services provided include: a 24-hour domestic violence hotline; individualized, peer and group domestic violence counseling; telephone counseling; legal advocacy; court and hospital accompaniment; education and outreach to the community and schools; and various support groups.

Our programs are administered by more than 200 trained volunteers and a paid staff of 12 full and part-time employees in our five offices located in Elkins Park, Norristown, Lansdale, Pottstown and Bryn Mawr. Additionally, we fund a full-time Medical Advocate at Abington Memorial Hospital and a training facilitator for our Medical Advocacy Project.
