Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support

I'm sad to read all these reviews about how abusive the women and children have been treated when they've already been abused they're coming here and being mistreated by women of the same sex that they are other women How many times can I say women nobody wants to be hurt over and over let's help these people not put them down

I have been so incredibly blessed by this organization and the women who run it. Life changing is not an exaggeration.

Genesis Women's Outreach is good to me. I only use their counseling services, which included EMDR, parenting classes, group classes, and more recently, talk therapy. With my current counselor's guidance, my PCL-5 score went from 51 to 23 in about a year. I've poured many years, so much money, and hard work into healing trauma that when I was told about my most recent PCL-5 score, I cried tears of joy. I also framed the sticky not my counselor gave me listing my PCL-5 scores by date. Domestic violence survivors get so much judgment, which only adds to the intense shame that their abusers have placed onto them. For me, that used to be so hard. In fact, I almost took my life to escape the abuse I experienced, for not being believed, and the judgment I received for my trauma reactions. But Genesis believes me. They have helped me understand the dynamics I have experienced. Their belief didn't help me in court. But what it has done is help me to feel okay and heard and not so alone. I am grateful to Genesis and everyone who has chosen to support Genesis in their mission. I will say that the toiletries that people donate are amazing!!! Many moments when my account has been in the negative but I had feminine care products, toothpaste, and deodorant that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. Y'all can donate toilet paper too if you'd like!
