Women's Coalition of St. Croix

Healthy communities are created through healthy relationships between individuals, families, in neighborhoods and businesses. Our goals are to see violence eradicated and support for survivors of violence fully funded and available, when and for as long as it is needed.

WCSC is an extraordinary constellation of service, counseling and education. Key factors in our strategy: to meet victims and survivors where they are in their experience, so that they know crucial help is available, that they are believed and that a life free from violence is possible. We offer 24/7/365 crisis intervention, and maintain partnerships with law enforcement, local human services and other government agencies, and peer social and government agencies on the mainland and in other areas of the world, to ensure that lifesaving services are available when they are needed. Other strategies we use are outreach and focused collaborative campaigns to educate on and prevent domestic and sexual violence, and promote healthy relationships.

We hold volunteer victim advocacy training every 18 months, facilitated by WCSC staff, experts, thought leaders on related subjects and issues, and experienced advocates. We recruit and prepare community members for duty as advocates that are contacted for victims in crisis on our 24/7/365 crisis intervention hotline.
Our staff includes counselors for adults and child victims and survivors
Sojourner House and our transitional housing program are also staffed with case managers for individual assistance and referrals, and child care services for residents who are in school or employed.
