Our Mission

The Emma Center is a nonprofit women's center for adult survivors of child abuse, domestic violence, and other trauma. Our focus is on the long-term effects of trauma and an integrative, holistic approach to healing. Our mission is three-fold: 1) to provide referrals, support, and advocacy to abuse and trauma survivors; 2) to raise awareness in our community about the effects of abuse and integrative holistic approaches to healing; and 3) to open a women's residential healing center for women recovering from trauma-related conditions.

Most abuse survivors live with a myriad of trauma-related health conditions, including posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, chronic headaches and fatigue, and gynecological and digestive problems. Lack of immediate and affordable treatment means many women are unable to heal from past abuses, have a difficult time functioning in their daily lives, and are at-risk of ending up in unhealthy or even violent intimate relationships. Through grassroots efforts and community collaboration, The Emma Center seeks to help fill this gap in treatment to aid women in their healing process.

The Emma Center is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.
