Women Aware, a non-profit organization, is the lead domestic violence agency in Middlesex County. Women Aware was established in 1979 with a mandate as the only shelter in the county exclusively servicing battered women and their children. Since the center’s inception, the services have expanded to include a variety of programs addressing the complex problems of domestic violence; and we serve all community members regardless of ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sex and sexual orientation.

Women Aware is open and operational 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Services are accessed through the 24-hour hotline, either directly by clients or through referral sources. The domestic violence program provides emergency shelter for women and their children, as well as a full spectrum of ancillary support services. Any woman able to care for herself and her children in a congregate living environment and who is homeless as a result of domestic violence is eligible for services. Extensive services are available to anyone concerned with issues of domestic violence of Middlesex County, whether or not they are in need of shelter.

All of our services are free of charge. http://womenaware.net/
