Turning Point Program

The Turning Point Program extends Womenspace services to women who have left an abusive partner.

The purpose of the program is to:

• Help women develop and achieve personal goals
• Encourage their efforts toward economic and emotional stability for themselves and their children
• Support them in their desire to lead lives free from violence.

The goals of the program are accomplished through long-term (one year) one-on-one case management that includes:

• Peer counseling
• Advocacy
• Resource referrals
• Weekly support group
• Domestic violence information and education

To participate in the Turning Point Program, applicants must be:

• Women (adult or emancipated teens)
• Residents of Lane County (except the coastal area)
• Survivors of domestic violence, but no longer living with the abusive partner
• Motivated to make positive changes in their lives
• Committed to staying out of abusive relationships
