Programs > Abused Women’s Services
The YWCA of Greater Memphis Abused Women's Services (YWCA-AWS) is dedicated to eradicating domestic violence. As visionaries in this struggle, we do this by providing dedicated and optimal services, empowering women to make educated decisions about their lives and educating the community on the effects of domestic violence. We believe that programs and services offered to victims of domestic violence must be client-centered as well as empowering. YWCA-AWS is committed to the values of integrity, quality, and excellence in service to abused women and their children, and the possibility of success in achieving our mission.
