Since 1976, the women of NELCWIT have been working to build safety, justice, and dignity for all. Serving Franklin County and the North Quabbin region of western Massachusetts, we offer counseling, safe homes, advocacy, and education to women and children who have survived domestic violence or sexual abuse, and prevention education for area schools, professionals, and other groups.

We are now 34 years old! Since 1976, our programs have helped over 13,000 women!
