Arizona News – Hope Women’s Center (Hope) is thrilled to announce it’s expanding its services throughout Northern Arizona by establishing easily accessible locations and remote services to reach women wherever they are and provide the support they need.
This expansion, called Hope on the Road (HOTR), is an innovative approach to identify future Hope Women’s Center locations across Arizona in response to prevailing needs. HOTR’s comprehensive mobile model emphasizes Hope’s Exclusive Every Mother’s Advocate (ĒMA program), which is highly sought after, and collaborates with leading non-profit organizations to facilitate Hope programs.
Hope Services Offered
Hope Women’s Center plays a pivotal role in addressing issues that disproportionately affect women and children, such as domestic violence, homelessness, poverty, job training and access to education. Hope Women’s Center’s services are free and include in person and remote life skills classes, individual mentoring and counseling, resources and referrals to community partners, and points earned for material assistance.
The program expansion includes:
- Adding the new Every Mother’s Advocate (ĒMA) program (advocacy, case management, and support for moms in crisis) to support women and children at risk of family separation due to domestic violence, poverty, and homelessness.
- Strengthening educational and vocational training initiatives to empower women and children with the skills and knowledge to break the cycle of poverty.
- Launching public awareness campaigns and advocacy efforts to raise awareness about the challenges women and children face and work toward sustainable solutions.
- Enhancing support services, such as counseling, legal assistance, and access to healthcare, to ensure a holistic approach to addressing the needs of those in crisis to keep families together whenever possible.
Hope on the Road remote sites have already been established in Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Rimrock, and Sedona with plans to extend to Prescott Valley this Fall.
“Hope Women’s Center has a long history of supporting women and children in Arizona,” said Tammy Abernethy, CEO of Hope Women’s Center. “This new program model reflects Hope’s unwavering commitment to improving the lives of women and children facing critical challenges by meeting them where they are. With the launch of Hope on the Road Northern Arizona, we aim to significantly enhance our ability to make a difference in the community.”
