Since 1976, NELCWIT has been working to build safety, justice, and dignity for all.  Serving Franklin County and the North Quabbin region of western Massachusetts, we offer safety planning, advocacy, and support to anyone who has survived domestic or sexual abuse, and prevention education for our community, especially area youth.

We are now 35 years old! Since 1976, our programs have helped over 14,000 women, children, and men.

NELCWIT saves lives.  

"Sally" called NELCWIT after her husband  threatened to kill her. After our advocates helped her through the initial crisis, she continued to work with NELCWIT, attending a support group and calling as needed.

Almost two years later, she says, "I feel like a new person. After years of abuse and dependence,  I am finding new interests and I'm supporting myself for the first time ever. I'm excited about the future and that feels great!"

NELCWIT's services are free and confidential.

We offer advocacy for women, men, and children; for able-bodied and disabled individuals; for straight, lesbian, gay, bi, and trans people; and for speakers of other languages.

We have special programs for members of our area's Latino and Indigenous communities.
