The Second Step, a private non-profit agency, seeks to break the cycle of domestic violence, one family at a time. We provide services to women and their children that enable them to remain free from abusive relationships and lead productive lives. Our mission is to provide transitional housing and support services to women and their children who have successfully taken the first step away from domestic violence. We provide a broad range of services to empower these women to heal, to maintain independence, and to achieve economic self-sufficiency.
