🫂Community Update

Dear Friends of The Women & Family Life Center,

Thank you again for your incredible support at our recent empowHer gala! We encourage you to check out the pictures posted to our online photo gallery here.

As we enter April, we turn our attention to Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). The theme for #SAAM2025 is Together We Act, United We Change, and we invite you to actively participate right here on the shoreline. By coming together with local community agencies, we can foster a culture of respect, consent, and support for survivors.

Mark your calendars for April 23rd and be part of the conversation at a Sexual Assault Awareness Event on the Guilford Green hosted by the Center in partnership with community agencies from around the state. Let's build a more connected and safer shoreline for everyone where women and all families are free from violence and harassment, are economically and emotionally secure, and have access to equitable opportunities.

Sincerely,

Jen Fournier, Esq.

Executive Director
