What initially began as a crisis line providing women the opportunity to call and seek assistance in 1978, A Woman’s Place has since transformed into a pillar in Weld County, providing safe haven and shelter for women, families and men experiencing Domestic Violence. With eight rooms and the ability to shelter up to eight families at once, A Woman’s Place helps victims of Domestic Violence recoup with safety planning and finding their footing in getting safely back into the community on their own. In 2021. A Woman’s Place received 950 crisis phone calls and helped serve 500 clients. With the successful help from the volunteer organization, Friends of a Woman's Place, they continually receive donations to aid in helping provide necessities to those in the shelter, such as clothing, hygiene products and any other specific needs of the families or individuals. Bringing awareness of Domestic Violence and Mental Health is something Dani Souza, Outreach Coordinator, is very passionate about and holds near to her heart. Being a voice and face of A Woman's Place is a rewarding opportunity for Souza and she aims to educate and bring to light the variations of domestic violence and the assistance that is available. After 45 years, A Woman’s Place continues to build their well-known presence in Weld County and has found many opportunities to help provide support.
