    Not to work miracles.

    We are here to help women discover what they are feeling…

    Not to make the feelings go away.

    We are here to help a woman identify her options…

    Not to decide for her what she should do.

    We are here to discuss steps with a women…

    Not to take the steps for her.

    We are here to help a woman discover her own strength

    Not to rescue her and leave her still vulnerable.

    We are here to help a women discover she can help herself,

    Not to take responsibility for her.

    We are here to help women learn to choose,

    Not to keep them from making difficult choices.

    WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR CHANGE.
