About Us
Mission
The mission of The Women’s Initiative is to provide effective counseling services, social support, and education to empower women to transform challenging life situations into opportunities for renewed well-being and personal growth.
Our mission is based upon our conviction that:
- All women should have access to vital mental health services, regardless of ability to pay.
- Challenging life events and the accumulative demands of daily living place women at risk for stress-related emotional problems and illnesses such as anxiety, depression, heart disease and diabetes.
- Researched self-care and self-awareness skills are powerful tools to reduce the impact of chronic stress and its toll on mental and physical health.
Vision
The Women’s Initiative will become widely recognized as a leader in providing innovative mental health services to all women, regardless of means.
Values
We believe every woman has a natural capacity for healing that once uncovered and directed results in better mental and physical health. We believe it is critical to address each woman’s unique emotional, physical and spiritual needs.
Goals
We will provide a variety of services that promote a higher quality of life for women facing stressful life situations. We expect that women receiving our services will report that they have successfully:
- clarified personal values, needs, and goals
- built on personal strengths and resources to meet needs and achieve goals
- mastered skills that promote restorative relaxation, calm and confidence
- initiated life changes that lead to reduced stress and greater well being
