An Outline
Our Vision is that all women are empowered and supported in our community.
Our purpose is to deliver trauma-informed mental health, addiction and domestic violence service to assist women to meet their physical, emotional, social and economic potential.
Sydney Women’s Counselling Centre provides trauma-informed counselling and casework in a safe environment and free of charge to women in our community. We support ongoing access to social justice programs, and we are a voice of women in our community.
Our services are, trauma–informed services underpinned by a Social Model of Health that recognizes health and wellbeing as the outcome of social determinants (social, environmental, economic, physical and cultural factors) and gender inequity (being a woman).
Our Centre is a safe women only environment providing services that seek to Empower Women to improve the quality of their lives and fulfil their potential
